The answer is you need to 'pulse' it.... in other words put a small portion of butter in a dish and put it in the microwave, turn the microwave power to it's lowest setting, turn on the power, count to 2 and switch off, repeat this 3 or 4 times then check the butter, stir it and if it's not soft enough return to the microwave and repeat the above until it is soft.
