Is the Mae Sot border currently open for a border bounce/visa run?

Yes

The border with Burma is open to enter and stamp your passport?

I don't know, that is what i'm asking

I've read here that it's open.

But before I would make a long journey there, I would simply call at the border and ask them if it's really open, then you know it 100%, because things can always change: https://goo.gl/maps/222HRsamfdz23UQb9

If the border checkpoint doesn't answer the phone you could also call Tak Immigration instead.

If you let your Thai girlfriend call make sure that she asks if "farang" can use the crossing, because a border crossing might be open for Thais but not for us.

Update. 

Called Tak immigration .  The border is currently closed for any border runs and they have no idea when it will be open again. This is a rule set by Myanmar not Thailand.
