Bad luck with the master cylinder, always a good way to ruin a productive weekend of work. For what it is worth and being a mechanic myself I was always taught and practiced that you never apply heat to brake parts or steering components as it fatigues the metal/cast and it will fail over time. My advice would be to source another component and run a tap through every thread, blow it out with compressed air prior to assembly. I even run a die nut over every stud and bolt thread.
Cheers,
Dave.
