looking for materials engineering advice: I use these plastic crates as columnar support on my bookshelves. the plastic failed (weight + time + 90F temperature). If I use a hair dryer to shape the plastic back into place, can I expect to reuse on the top level? Or will it not form or hold?

Cinder blocks would make outstanding replacements
