How about super hot steamy cloths to soften it until it can be wiped off?
Alternatively, you could turn the carpet over and tunnel underneath until 
the spot is over your head; then light another candle and hold under the
spot until the wax runs off.  Then you are left with the carbon spots
from the candle exhaust, which would be much easier to remove. :-)
