Baking it is likely to have little effect IMO. BA has a boiling point over 400 deg F.

Cutting it with sterile oil will probably help though. You could also try extracting out a little of the BA with water. BA isn't soluble in water that much but apparently you can get about 4% into water. That means for every mL of water, you could potentially remove 40mg BA. You will have to sterile filter through a 0.2 micron filter after to re-sterilize it.

Just draw up 1/3 of the syringe with the oil and then draw up another 1/3 of water. Shake it violently for 30 seconds or so and let is stand needle down for a while to let the layers separate. The water layer is on the bottom; just push it out leaving the oil layer behind. The process can be repeated to remove more BA. Just remember to re-sterilize after to avoid an infection.

The oil may appear a little cloudy after this treatment but don't worry about it. That is just a little water remaining behind in the oil. It won't hurt anything.
