You should not "dry" slides in the MW. The paraffin in the sections is "transparent" to microwaves and what you are going to do is locally heat (and I mean heat) the remaining water underneath the sections but you are not going to really melt the paraffin.
There is no real good substitute for a convection oven to dry the sections.
