I've seen a few solutions on Google. One says put it in a microwave for
5-10 sec. I have my doubts. No one confirmed it. Another was to put it
in very hot water, apparently in about 3-4" or so, but nothing more was
offered.

Anyone got a tried and true method?

I have used alcohol with success. *Someone suggested an eyedropper,
but I wouldn't put the whole thing in at once. *A couple drops, then
cap the pen and store it point down, maybe tap the cap a few times

I agree with the comment to buy a new one, but I have been in a
situation where I needed a marker right away, and this was the only
option.

You should have bought 2 the last time you went shopping.
