Take an old rag(preferably an old washcloth) and soak it with Zippo lighter fluid(stuff in the big yellow can will work too) and then hold the cloth to the area for a bit, then gently rub it off while flipping the cloth over and over.

This might be an absolutely useless suggestion, but I will throw it out there anyway. Try using a clay bar. A buddy of mine painted his Stang and got overspray all over the windshield. He tried solvents and a razor, but nothing would remove the overspray from the glass. We went over it with a clay bar and it cleaned right up with very minimal effort.
If you run out of things to try, you might consider this. If you do, let me know how it works.

Find a old wallpaper remover steamer on Craigslist??? Maybe wallpaper remove sold in the paint dept a Menards. I like Roy'* idea a lot, it doesn't cost much to try.
