If its in the wood, it may be hard to get out because wood is very porous. Why remove it? its character from playing! lol

Re: Green stains on neck, how to remove?
you could try a spot treatment of wood bleach, but i really don't know how that is likely to affect the surrounding finish.
if it's really that much of an annoyance, the logical cure would be to remove any remnants of finish in the discoloured spot, as well as a little bit of the surrounding area, then and down to bare wood until you get past the stain, then re-finish/match the existing finish.
in other words: probably a huge pain in the ass that is more trouble than it's worth.
got a pic?

Be really careful how much you sand, you could easily end up with a shallow dip in the area you sanded. Might end up looking worse than just leaving stain there, and it could feel odd. If I was buying a guitar I'd prefer a stain on the neck over a dip where one used to be.
