I thought I would put my tuppence worth in so you wer'nt feeling ignored ! I would think treat her like any oak.

Pretty hardy and capable of regrowth (dormant buds) due to its capacity to deal with fires. Not pruned one myself though pretty hardy though drought resistant suffer from root rot

Good for bonsai as roots and tops can be pruned so I guess you will be fine.

gentle bark reduction should do the trick..
