Default Paint on brickwork

The Assistant Deputy Painter has got carried away while painting an
exterior door frame and spread the brilliant white gloss across the
mastic and onto the brickwork. It doesn't look pretty.

Anyone able to suggest a way of removing said paint from the brickwork
effectively but without damaging either the mastic or the paint on the
woodwork?

TIA

As simple as that? I had assumed that I might need something more
'specialised' to get the paint not only off the bricks but out of them
as well.
