I did this too!
Worse yet, it was when my dryer was still very new (less than four months).
The only thing that worked for me was 91% rubbing alcohol and a lot of paper towels. Around here, 91% rubbing alcohol is at the drug store, not a general merchandise store. After that, I wiped the drum with a cloth dampened with water.
I've washed pens since then, but I have not yet dried another!
Good luck!!

Second on the alcohol
We had an "issue" where our at-the-time 4 year old decided to take an ink pen and mark up our 20" LCD, much to my horror. Fortunately we had some alcohol wipes handy and I immediately went over the screen and got every last bit of it off. Good thing he wasn't mashing to hard.
Wipes or rubbing alcohol for sure.
Of course it goes without saying (so I'll say it) that you need to make quadruple-sure that all the alcohol has evaporated and you've cleaned the drum completely with something NOT FLAMMABLE and let it dry before you attempt to use the dryer.
