You might try some hand cleaner for auto mechanics. Work it into the stain and wipe off with a clean cloth. It make take a few applications to get it all. Then brush with a suede brush.

I use a product called ENERGINE Spot Remover. You can find it in some stores with the specialty cleaners (for example brass cleaner/silver polish). Hardware stores often carry it also. It is 100% naphtha.

You need to use it carefully....don't breathe the fumes, have good ventilation and remember it's flammable! It always works for me on grease and tar type stains. It's getting hard to find.
