Induction? Absolutely not.

Might as well be asking if you should microwave it.

Things that come in mind:
Regular oven + thermocouple for measurement of actual temperature
Upside down steam iron (without steam of course) in a vice + some ceramic standoffs between the iron and the board + some thermocouple for measurement of actual temperature.

There are also cheap hot plates available from your friendly neighbourhood chinese seller. Not exactly meant for pre-heating, but they do the job.

I already suggested a regular oven +casserole dish ~100c.
It didn't have to be exact. Just less than the ~120c tolerance of the plastic and rated operating temp of most caps.

The delta temperature should be around 250 then instead of 330.

Induction? Absolutely not.

Of course, not with the GPU!
Just to heat a ''thermal mass''.

What about heating the whole PCB with a big heat gun from a big distance (let's say 30-40cm)?

Airfrier without the box?

Sure. You can do some chips first to test
