Bummer!

Removing the masking tape as soon as you dare after painting is the best way. Once the edge has formed it's only going to go away one way. Well two actually but stripping the whole lot is a bit over the top....

Out with the wet and dry. Get it as close as you can then polishing compounds might manage the last.

I think you'll have to sand it off. It's best to avoid the problem in the first place. Spray away from masking,several light mistings and,as above, get the masking off as soon as is practicable.

Cheers
