I'd try a SHARP (as in brand new) scraper, either the kind that takes
single-edge razor blades, or the kind with a C or U shaped blade that
cuts on the pull stroke. If the original finish is intact under the
overpaint, and wasn't too porous, the splatters should come right off.
You will still do some damage- can't be avoided- but a wipe-on gel stain
(I like Minwax, in the bottles that look like suntan oil) of the correct
shade will probably fix it 'good enough'. Take your time and go slow,
and keep the blade clean. As soon as the blade loses its edge, hone it
or put on a fresh one. You want the vee of the cutting edge as close as
parallel to surface as possible, so the corners won't dig in.

I'm assuming the surface is actual wood or veneer, and this is not those
cheap cabinets with real wood on the front, and the sides and interior
are faux wood.

Since it's wall paint, it's very likely latex. There is a product
specifically for removing latex paint. It's available at HD, Lowes,
probably local paint/hardware stores etc. Don't remember the name of
it, but it's much milder than products like Goof off. I used it to
remove some latex house paint from my car bumper and it came right off
in minutes.
