Have not tried this but someone once said by putting a diode in series
with the lamp but as this would be half wave rectification I would think
a full diode bridge would be better.

But would this help with the turn on burn out problem?

Maybe a full wave bridge and a capacitor on the DC side would help to
slow down the turn on pulse to the bulb while the capacitor is charging.
