The glue does not need to have softened.  I recently found three
pizza-box SPARCstations, one of which was an SS2 with one foot slid to
the point that about half an inch was outside the case footprint.

I stood them all on their sides to store for a week or two.  The SS2, I
stood with the side with the projecting foot down, so the box's weight
would tend to slide it back into place.

I recently moved them.  The foot in question had indeed slid back where
it belonged.  No heat gun necessary, just some time and a little
persistent force.

Of course, it's not clear to what extent this helps you; you may have
trouble finding a way to set up persistent force to get the feet to
slide over time.  But it should be _possible_, at least.
