The steerer is glued to the crown, as are the fork legs. Any kind of hot work is going to weaken or destroy the glue joints. It would be hypothetically possible, but uneconomic, to take the old steerer out and make a new one to bond in. The actual sensible solution is to find a monobloc carbon fork and switch the headset and stem to AHead.

What size is the frame. I have a spare 979 fork.

I have a Vitus 979 fork that's got broken threads, does anyone know where I might get the steerer chopped and extended? My lbs sent it to Argos for a normal steerer replacement but apparently it wasn't possible because of the alloy fork crown :(
