The best method I have found when I'm going to refinish anyway, is after stripping, I lay a washcloth soaked with boiling hot water over the area leave it there over night to saturate the veneer, remove cloth, then clamp a flat hard surface (plywood cut to size) leave it until the wood dries. Will be flat as original without splitting or injecting for glue, has worked every time for me.
