The wax ended up dripping onto the cotton fabric and hardening. I washed the fabric in the washing machine twice already, but the stain still doesn't come out.

The stain may not ever come out completely, but you can try this:

Heat your iron (regular clothes iron) to the cotton setting, get a piece of a paper grocery bag as it is absorbent, put the paper bag piece on the was spot and use the iron on top of the bag piece to heat up the wax and fabric by going back and forth over the spot. The wax should stick to the paper. move the paper around and reapply iron.

This works on carpets too.

Ironing. Place a paper bag on the ironing board and place the cloth wax-side down on the paper. The iron will melt the wax out of the cotton and the paper will absorb the wax.
I once took a bunch of wax out of my husband's winter jacket this way.
