Toughest veneer glue on the planet

I am working on an old dresser, 50s vintage.  The dresser is mostly hardwood but the face of the drawers is (well, was) beautiful bookend veneer.  Unfortunately, a guest put a vaporizer in front of the dresser and buckled the veneer.  I thought since the vaporizer had done such a good job of debonding the veneer that this would be a (relatively) simple job.  NOPE!

I have tried a hot towel on the veneer face.  I have tried a steam iron.  I have tried a dilute vinegar solution.  I have tried a heat gun.  This veneer is glued on with the best glue on the planet.

The vaporizer discharged onto the veneer for about two weeks so there was plenty of time to debond the glue.  I really don't have two weeks to work on three drawers.  Suggestions?
