Does anybody know how to get a "washable paint" stain out of granite?

Hi drg, Welcome!

Do you have a 1st name. drg is too hard to spell!

Do you know what kind of granite you have? Have you tried to take a single edge razor blade to remove the mass of the paint, then a rag with some acetone on it. These usually work. Whether it does or doesn't , please get back to us.

John's right. Keep in mind, however, that if your granite needed to be sealed and an impregnator/sealer was applied, the acetone may damage it. No big deal: just apply some more impregnator in hat spot.
Ciao and good luck,
