As Phisherman says, it's probably too late now to get the stain out.
However, you can try using a very sharp pair of small scissors and
snipping the stained area out of the carpet, then finding an
inconspicuous place to cut some pile and the glue it into the snipped
area. I have done this before and if you do it carefully, you won't be
able to tell where the stain was.
