Default Removing super glue from leather seat?

I was gluing the side piping trim piece on my GS430's front seat that came apart. About a 5 inch section needed to be glued. I used gorilla super glue and it worked wonderfully, however, I guess I put just a tad bit too much glue in one spot and a very tiny spot of glue residue got left on the side of the leather seat (the spot is extremely small, but it bothers me).

Is there anything you can use to get this off?

I tried Autoglym interior shampoo, 3M general adhesive remover, and vegetable oil (read about it online that putting vegetable oil for about 45 minutes should soften the glue and make it easy to wipe off with a damp cloth).

None of these methods worked. I wonder if I should try a heat gun maybe?

Any suggestions before I proceed further?

Nothing, but a strong solvent eg. paint thinner.

At this point, you can try to sand it down using 2000 grit paper.
Sry to see that happen.
