I suspect that this will depend very strongly on the characteristics of specific type of resistor. Further, there will undoubtedly be very significant differences from manufacturer to manufacturer, in the ability to absorb stresses well beyond normal design intent. I think it would be rather hard (or even perhaps impossible) to make generalizations that would apply to, for example, all 1 Watt resistors.

Is there any standard models? This could be very useful to design the power supply circuit parts involved in a surge immunity test.
