I have a 2-part suggestion, which has worked for me:

Step 1) Take a piece of brown paper (of the kind from which a paper bag is made), place it over the stain, and iron over this paper with a hot iron. This hopefully will cause the oil stain to be absorbed by the brown paper.

Step 2) After the ironing, pour a thick layer of talcum powder onto the spot. Leave overnight and then launder as usual.

Depending on the finish of the table. If it is highly polished try this.

After removing the bulk of it with a blunt plastic tool or your fingernails, try covering it with absorbent paper and use a warm, not hot, iron. Standard cleaners will then suffice

Place a brown paper grocery bag on both sides of the table cloth, and press with a warm iron on the paper. Wax melts, and is absorbed by the brown paper. Keep switching to clean paper until no more wax melts.

What i have done was place a old terrycloth towel over the wax, then ran a hot iron over the towel until the wax was absorbed into the towel, and away from the clothes.

Wrap an ice cube in plastic and hold it on the wax for a couple of minutes. It will probably crack right off when it's cold. Repeat. If there is a residual stain, dry-clean.

Cover wax with two layers of paper towel. Rub a WARM iron over, replacing paper towel as it absorbs wax.
