After that, try a dry old stiff/hard toothbrush + the vacuum to work down in the
pores.
I don't have the foggiest notion what a safe solvent for chalk might be.

Using chalk is standard procedure when laying up veneers with a hot
press. The chalk comes right of when you stroke sand the veneers. Do not use
any type of solvent or water based product to try and remove the chalk all
it will do is drive the chalk into the grain do not use air to blow it off
either vacuuming might help but I would not bother you might scratch the
veneer. Just sand it off that's all.

chalk can be hard to get out of the grain of some woods and can
interfere with some finishes. the dealer did you no favors by using
it.
first thing I'd try is a vacuum cleaner with a small nozzle. suck as
much of it straight out of there as you can. then go after it with an
artist's gum eraser.

Or, once it's down, a toothbrush and an air nozzle will make
short work of it.
