Cruciable steel forges commonly can get above 2500, and the LN states that the Dwarves have Adamantite forges, which require much higher temperatures than for any other metal.

So...yeah, magma shouldn't be able to compete with that. Still, while magma wouldn't be a useful heatsource, that doesn't mean he doesn't have some other idea in mind. If he's just running away in shame rather than admit he can't do anything with the ingot, there's no reason to steal it and thus blacken his name so irreparably among his people.
