I understand, but that would eliminate some of the build up. Also when you start with a higher initial pressure, it shouldn't heat up quite as much. So let say you start with 31 and it gets to 38 hot. When you start with 32, it might only get to 37.5 hot. This is a common mistake people make. You NEVER set tire pressure when it is hot, always start cold and fine tune it. Michelin has a nice little article on how to set tire pressure on their tires. I personally start with the high 30s on my tires, it never gets above 41.
