What is the best way to remove stuck foam residue from a foam-backed table pad on a wooden dining table?

Denatured alcohol

Try using a little denatured alcohol that can be bought at paint store hardware store, but try it out on an inconspicuous spot on the table, first, because alcohol is the solvent for some finishes, particularly shellac.

Sticker remover and lemon oil

You may be able to carefully remove the residue with an all-pupose scraper and sticker remover. Make sure you use a brand-new blade, and work very slowly and carefully so as not to mar the finish. You may find that lemon oil will act as a solvent of the residue while not affecting the finish. (The lemon oil may actually improve the finish in that area and impel you to apply it to the whole surface.)
