You have to run the recommended inflation or just a tad lower. Normally being low is a bad thing and it is if it's long term. You just want to be at or just below the recommended pressures so that you have the sidewall flex occurring and heat is generated. The heat is needed to soften the rubber that has taken this shape on and work it back to round. Really pumped up tires won't flex much and won't heat up. I'd try driving at fuel filler pressure and if no luck I'd drop it to 25 psi and try again. Don't go on the highway please. Don't go more than 10 miles without checking the sidewall to see if it's overheating.
