Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice and 3/4 cup rubbing alcohol into a bowl. Dip a soft toothbrush into the mixture and begin scrubbing away as much of the paint as possible.
Scrape up more paint with a dull butter knife. Add more of the alcohol and lemon juice mixture to soften the paint. Continue applying the cleaning mixture with the toothbrush, then scraping with the butter knife until no more paint is coming off the wood.
Moisten a soft, clean rag with acetone. Rub the acetone-soaked rag over the spot to remove the rest of the paint. Switch to a clean part of the rag after each swipe to avoid reapplying the paint to the floor. Go over the area with a clean, dry rag to remove the residue.
Clean the area with a soft cloth and mineral spirits to remove any remaining traces of paint from the floor. Once all the spray paint is gone, wash the wood floor with a hardwood floor cleaner.

I would use acetone, the kind you get in the hardware store. I have used it on laminate and hardwoods. Just use sparingly and in a well ventilated area.
