I would ask the center for image permanence. Or a conservator at Eastman house. It’s going to matter how the solvent have bonded to each other in the pigments as they might not separate. But if you wanna go on a wing and a prayer, I would use peroxide and then dilute it 1 to 4 and work you way stronger.

I do not know of a solvent, but might one etch the “black spot” out with a #11 mat knife blade (carefully avoiding the substate material) and then retouching result with correct color.
Of course, there is always photoshop.
