Default Removing dried latex paint from stained trim

Dan wrote:

Painting a window yesterday, I accidentally got a bit of white latex
primer on some surrounding trim, light brown stained pine (just stain,
no lacquer, etc). (basically, the edge of the brush grazed the trim in
one spot, so it's not like a drip that can be easily chipped off. Is
there any way to remove this paint, short of sandpaper or a chisel?
Tried one of those "Mr. Clean Magic Erasers", NOGO. I'm wondering if
there's any solvent that might work?

TIA

We have had good luck using Formula 409 but not on unfinished wood. Hot
soapy water on a rag might do it. Doubt you can get it all without some
sinking into the unfinished wood. If you have some of the stain, you
can touch it up.
