Put a towel or something under the stain to prevent it from expanding then iv always used a clean white cloth and some white wine or other clear alcohol scrub it and leave it 5-10 mins then scrub again and should come away. It’s always worked for me x

I always used to use methalayted spirits (meths) to get biro out of school shirts. I'd try on a very inconspicuous piece of fabric first.
