Try using heat to see if it will soften the glue up enough for you to wipe it off. A blow dryer might work.
I've gotten water rings off wood with a Mr. Clean "magic eraser." Maybe it would help with the softened glue. The eraser takes the wood finish off too, though, but it still works better than sanding.
