I think that the pre-soak works very well. I've come to the same 
result from a different direction. I pre-soak, sometimes twice, take 
out what will come out, and if they are really stubborn THEN I reach 
for a damp cloth and an iron to steam them out. I don't like cooking 
wood unless I have to. If there are pulley keys, I'll steam, knowing 
that it'll shrink the oversized holes - but if the balance rail holes 
are snug, I'll try to avoid steaming, so I don't have to resize them 
all later.
