The heat gun has a switch that allows you to set it at two different temps. the sucker gets pretty hot.

No attachments came with this one. they werent needed though. It didnt damage my grips at all. Instead of aiming inline with the bar I aimed it 90 degrees to the barend so only the end was grabbing the heat. I used an impact driver as well, but it didnt take much with the heat gun on it.
The parking lot situation kinda sucks. Extension cord? Or maybe a friends house. propane torch was another good idea. if that screw head is too damaged you might have to drill it out. You could get an extractor bit too. If you end up drilling, start with a larger bit to clean up the gnarled up head, then go into the bolt with a smaller bit.
