If you need to remove some crank case oil trying to remove the drain plug and letting some out is a messy job.
The cleanest and easiest way is to remove the oil filter, throw it away and put on a new unused filter. This will get rid of almost a quart of oil.
With the new filter installed, run the engine for a minute or so, let it sit for 10 minutes, measure the oil and you should be ok.
I would recommend lowering the oil to the level stipulated by the engine manufacturer.
