What about potting it inside a block of epoxy? It might overheat more easily but will not melt like wax.
I used to use some in an AM radio transmitter for navigation. Certainly not high fidelity but it stopped the microphonics.
Perhaps someone can do a listening test with three capacitors from the same batch. Plain, in wax and in epoxy.
