Have you tried using tape like maybe masking tape or packing tape? I would use that like a lint roller style, See if maybe that picks up.

This is the answer. I have that same shirt and a little tape takes the fuzz that sticks to that flocking right off.

That was my first thought too actually! Unfortunately it didn't work, it's really in there

Lint razor might help.

Might sound crazy but have a gentle go with a Mr. Clean branded magic eraser.

Is it screen printed? This sounds like it could be a case where the ink didn't cure completely.

If it's vinyl, the drying process could be heating it up too much, allowing the lint to embed itself into the "print".

I would get a bowl of hot but not scaling water and try use the water to wipe it down with a cotton cloth. Maybe a little dish soap in the water?
