Get the paint off, but silicone spray will help the situation.

I found " Mr. Clean" to work very well in cleaning just about
everythin. It even took the surface rust off of chrome, paint off of
brushes, etc etc etc. Worth a shot.....or paint thinner, find a small
bottle of this in any craft, oil painting, department. :-)

If possible leave the door open while the paint cures.
You could always remove the stop moulding and reinstall it so it does not
press as hard against the door.

I must have cheap latex paint, since soap and warm water cleaned up my
problems. The rubber is flexable and able to break it's bond with the
paint.

But this has been my results.
