Note: I've zero experience with this sort of boot and don't expect to get any - my Technicas are new, I've spent money fitting them, and even though I whimper in pain getting them on and pull an armpit muscle getting them off, they feel good once I'm buckled up. Need to figure out lean adjustment (spoiler etc) but that's mostly trying to get the boot to do my job.

A number of years ago I bought myself and my wife a pair of heated boot bags. Hands down the best ski equipment purchase I've made in the last 20 years. Nothing like cozy warm easy-open boots to start the day. Bonus points for happy wife. Helps our boots and gloves dry out overnight, too. $150-$280 ish.
You also might consider an electric heating pad laid over the tops of your boots for the same purpose. Some of the USB versions look intriguing, especially for use in the car on the way up/down the hill. But be very careful -- most heated boot bags go up to ~105F max -- don't buy (or at least don't set) an electric pad higher than that temp; use at your own risk.
