Other Pipe Wrench vs. Gorilla Glue

I have a great set of ergo grips that I would like to remove from my broken bars.

Trouble is they seem to be permanently affixed (I used Gorilla Glue on them, and they won't budge, even with a pipe wrench).

Before I waste any more time, is there any way to break the grips free of the incredible gorilla bond?

Solvent?
Heat?
High intensity ultraviolet irradiation?
Bombardment with gamma particles?
Coaxing with words of affirmation?
Let it sit and wait for time and chance to loosen the bond by random processes?

I see myself buying another set of grips. . . .

The BARS are broken - I want to save the grips.

I don't think it is possible, I just thought I would vent.
The grips aren't expensive, and I love them enough that it won't kill me to just buy another set.

I was going to suggest something along those same lines. Gorilla glue is strong, but pretty brittle. One you jam something under the grip and wiggle it around (I use a small flat head screw driver) the rest of the bond should give up pretty easily by twisting back and forth. I've gotten this to work a number of times but not with those grips.
