>Just thinking aloud here...

Use a 1/2" diameter metal rod and simply pump some electricity thru it. Low voltage DC....enough to get it hot. That should melt a little of the inner lining of wax to facilitate removeing it. You'd have to do a little research on circuitry design to develop a system that doesn't blow up your power source, but it sounds like a simple rheostat from a heater might work.
