I haven't really had any issues with woodworm, I don't think that they exist in my area of the world. I have run across insect damage but it was caused by some sort of beetle, just to make sure I sprayed the inside of the cabinet with pesticide. I don't think you would have to use microwaves to kill woodworm or other pests, chemicals, pesticide, or heat will probably kill them. Brake cleaner, wd40, varsol, paint stripper, lacquer thinner, all of those are deadly to insects, so is boric acid.
