Mom tells a story of finding a cast iron fry pan inside a stump on their place in Alaska. Somebody had burnt something on it so bad they just chucked it.
She hung it from a limb by a wire and use a blow torch to burn it clean, then re-seasoned it. She is still using it 50 years later.
So next time just fire up the propane torch and burn that wax off.
Short of breaking it I don't think it is possiable to ruin cast iron.
