Has anyone had luck stretching La Sportiva Skorpius?

Has anyone tried stretching or punching La Sportiva Skorpius? They're made of that carbon reinforced plastic that's supposed to be harder to stretch, and more likely to just break. Wondering how much room I could make along the 5th metatarsal.

I've done an ankle bone punch in four different Skoripus (skorpii?) - turned out fine, but make sure you have a good bootfitter who is familiar with the thin plastics.

Successfully widened out both first and 5th metatarsals to stretch the forefoot. I'm thankful to have access to an amazing boot fitter who used an infrared heat gun and a lot of patients to get it right.

I managed fairly sizeable punches with a heat gun and screwdriver handle, but i took some elbow grease and the result, while functional, isn't aesthetic. I'll get some photos later
