Some have reported success in getting small paint spots out of pores
like oak has by coating with shellac then repeating the stripping
step. Seems the shellac "surrounds" the paint allowing the stripper
to lift it out. No first hand experience. Maybe
www.refinishwizard.com has something in archive to help.

Also, as I mentioned above, there is some white paint that I can not
remove. I've tried steel wool, I've even tried toothpicks. Will a
grain filler hide that white paint? Should I just keep sanding? The
top (the only place with the white paint left over) is a thick solid
piece of oak, so I definitely have the material to keep sanding.
