Perhaps soaking for a prolonged period of time in a chelator (EDTA, etc) may further reduce any small quantities of toxic metals should they have
bound to the glass.
I guess if you can't remove them with aggressive cleaning, they will stay put nearly indefinately and shouldn't end up in your food.

The toxicity of many materials is unknown. An MD, took a pair of clean, previously used, platinum electrodes, autoclaved them, and inserted them
inside a new patient's skull. Soon after, the new patient succumbed to spongiform encephalopathy. In this case, even a few molecules of the toxic
principle (a mal-folded protein molecule) was enough to start a brain-wide....protein mal-folding party that rapidly killed the patient.
None-the-less, using that glassware is probably fine. If it isn't, farewell....we will miss your posts.
If you are going to worry about it, don't do it. If you are going to do it, don't worry about it. A quote more-or-less purloined from Hari Das

Copper is a toxic element? That's news to me.

I really wouldn't. But then again I'm no expert. You have no idea what that other guy put in the glassware, it's like playing Russian Roulette.
Can't you just go to the store and buy some pyrex beakers and stuff there?
