ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 21
There is immolate:
to kill or destroy (someone or something) by fire
You also have the noun immolation and the adjective immolated. Now the thing is it doesn't have to be at a stake. It could be, say, in a cage.
The word has been around since the 15th century.
ANSWER 2
Score 6
How about incinerate?
To cause to burn to ashes. FOD
Can anyone empathize with the bigot putting a torch to the stake where the condemned heretic will be incinerated? The Past is a Foreign Country
ANSWER 3
Score 3
Torched meaning "set alight" might be suitable.
I think it comes from an era when torches were fire on a stick which probably coincides with the era of burning at the stake.
ANSWER 4
Score 2
Not something in use, but with potential to catch on (if you're writing Monty Python styled stuff):
Barbecue
To use your sentences (to be read in a John Cleese-ish voice):
You, the accused, have been found guilty of practicing Judaism as a Christian. This heresy against our Lord Savior carries the penalty of barbecue (noun).
Or
[C]onvicted of heresy, you are to be barbecued (verb).
