post some pics of the damage... that way youll get better suggestions;
off the bat mine would be to try some meguiars plast-x it may help.
next time just get a clay bar to remove the overspray.

what kind of paint stripper did you use? was it a laquer thinner? usually a laquer or paint thinner is going to put cracks into the plastic on the headlights. and obviously as you know already ruin the finish. since you already used a harsh material, your going to want to wetsand and polish. wetsanding will gaurantee your results if done right.
I HIGHLY doubt the plastx is going to work, but you can definitely try it out. it doesnt have enough abrasiveness to take that type of material off nor does it have the chemicals to dissolve it, unless its minor oxidation on the headlights, but again you never know, it COULD work.
if you plan on wetsanding you can follow this DIY
