I honestly wouldn't test it. There will be quite a bit of torsion that could twist and break the glass. 20-30 lbs will be pushing at an angle which multiplies the lbs of pressure through a very low fulcrum point. (weight of monitor * inches from clamp = weight applied to glass during torsion) Just think of the arm as a wrench, and the desk as a bolt.
