If it's just a little too much you can ignore it. If it is a lot too much you'll have to drain some of it. Simplest is probably to drain it all like at an oil change, and then refill to the appropriate level. Then there are pumps that can suck some oil up through the hole for the dipstick. Another option is to change the oild filter. The filter will hold quite a bit of oil, so replacing that will remove a noticeable amount from the system. Do note that if you're careful about your engine there are special procedures that should be followed when restarting an engine with a drained filter.
