How to remove superglue from LCD screen of Macbook Pro?

I know this sounds ridiculously stupid. Unfortunately, I somehow managed to get superglue on my mom's Macbook screen. Theres two droplet sized marks near the center and I feel really bad. Is there any possible solution below changing the entire screen?

Acetone, is what breaks down super glue, use it on a q Tip and try to absorb it of the screen (dab),( this may take a few times to get it all) do not rub! First try it or the lacquer thinner Shootist mentioned, but try it in the corner of the screen first to make sure it will not cause damage. After it is removed use a screen cleaner with a micro fiber cloth such as Clean it, or an eyeglass cleaner that is safe for glasses with treated lenses. MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER TURNED OFF! Also support the screen from behind and use minimal pressure. Good Luck.

I have heard that WD-40 will remove super glue from lots of things, including human skin. I would recommend (1) turn te compter off, (2) place it screen up on a flat surface, (3) try a little on a Q-Tip (4) in the corner of the screen to be sure it does not damage the surface of the screen, and (5) if not, proceed with caution, (6) dab it on the glue using very little pressure. It may take several applications.
