You can heat them if you have access to oxy acetylene/propane to melt the brass/silver and lift them off, but you will still have to file them flat after, I removed a couple of cable bosses with heat and I need to go back and brass fill the small dents left by them and file them flat. For the canti brake bosses on my frame I'll just take an angle grinder to them to remove 95% of the boss and finish the last bit with a flat file.
Angle grinder and flat file IMHO
