A - I sincerely doubt that anyone has tried this.

B - I also sincerely doubt that dripping hot wax into a hollow point bullet in a live cartridge will have any repercussions but, like most folks, unless I HAD TO DO IT, why would I?

C - Why do you need hot wax? You could just as easily take a cartridge with an HP bullet and shove it into a candle point first - it will most likely come out jammed full of wax. Then you just hold it in your hand, finger on top, it warms a little, fills the void - VOILA! You're done.

4. There is an easier solution. Use Hornady's Critical Defense ammunition. It has a hollow point bullet with a polymer insert - so it's not actually hollow. It is supposed to be able to pass through heavy clothing like a solid but expand when it hits flesh and bone.

5. I have friends who only shoot solids. That's another solution.
