Has anyone ever successfully removed heat marks from a solid wood lacquered table? Tried a couple of different things but no luck so far

We had a bad one on our table from a pizza box. Hand towel with a iron took it completely out.

It's moisture from condensation which gets trapped in the finish, and needs drawing out. Medium heat iron (with steam off) on a teatowel. Move the iron slowly over the stain making sure the table doesn't get too hot or it will cause more moisture. It does take a while so please be patient. Other methods like baking soda, mayonnaise, toothpaste etc do not work x

Rub a walnut over it, the oil helps remove stain. It might take a while, but will improve over time. x

Put a t towel over the mark then iron over the t towel. It draws the moisture out. It really does work. It got a mark from a bowl of water off my table.
