Not really. Once it's hardened it will always be. All you can do at this point is use it as is and hope it softens up.
See if these ideas help you out

What type paint did you use?
I painted our furniture with chalky paint then used wax on it in the end. I believe it was the wax that softened it. If you are using a paint with latex in it like regular house paint then it will be hard to soften.
Use chalk paint with 2 coats of wax.
You could try wax but paint is paint and when on fabric, it hardens or makes it much stiffer. You’re likely out of luck. Fabric paint is a better option.
