If you or another can't dispel it or (another player) counter spell it, hit the caster (even multiple times) to break concentration. You can also switch to castoff armor to get it off more easily.
I think the fire damage is only half of the problem provided by heat metal. The disadvantage on attack rolls and skill checks can be a menace for any metal armour wearing warrior.
There is Adamantine Plate, Cast-off +3 but not +1 or 2 that I know of. There are also nonmetal armors like Living armor (comes in plate and other types, is +1 and has several resistances but slightly cursed, LOL), dragonscale, Obsidian Flint Dragon Plate, and Stonebreaker’s Breastplate.Oh, and scorpion plate (cursed) and serpent mail. Baldur's gate 1 or 2 (I forget) had Ankheg plate.
at 7th level alone you cant deal with it, thats why you need a PARTY and somebody with counterspell and someone with dispel magic. Even an archer with sharpshooter.
Late to the party but how would this affect Molten Bronze Skin (plate)? I honestly might post this in general questions forum because I may have a chance to snag this or a different rare item for my hobgoblin paladin.
Edit since posting (confirmed my suspicions and crushed my hopes). Armor would still be target but halved due to resistance.

Can castoff armour be adamantine with a +1 or +2?

Not sure if someone shared the Ode to Heat metal but here it is. There is some info there.
