How can I remove candle wax already absorbed into drywall so I can paint nicely?
Candle wax was spilled.
Take a putty knife and remove all trace of the spilled wax. If this means gouging out a bit of the paper that lines the drywall then so be it. The important thing is to remove all trace of the wax because paint WILL NOT adhere to it.
Give that area a light buff with sanding paper to remove any bits that stick out.
Then take some drywalling compound (these can be bought in small container if you are only doing a small job) and fill the holes you left behind when removing the wax. Use a wide bladed putty knife to do the last bit of smoothing so that what remains is flush with the rest of the wall. Allow to dry thoroughly. (There are instructions on how long to wait on the container.)
Then do another light sanding to remove any unnecessary bits. You will need to prepare that virgin surface you have created with a primer...that is, if you want this area to look just like the rest of the wall when you are done. People who redecorate a lot have small cans of primer on hand at all times in order to cover repairs.
When this has dried just paint as normal.
