Depending on the finish on the woodwork, you might try a warm, wet washcloth. If it's latex, not oil, it may come off. You also might try a putty knife or something like that to carefully scrape it off without screwing up the finish. Finally, I'm with Baby Lee: It's not that much work to take off trim, sand, and refinish (depending on the size of the area).
