I concur that you should remove some oil and via the oil filter housing is the easiest way... and you can check the oil filter while you at it. From what I understand over filling is not a good thing, as you say.
Good luck on finding a static oil level. I find that it moves around within a couple of bars on the cluster indicator. The best reading is after the car has sat overnight, but I find some mornings it will be up a bit and sometimes down. After sitting over night, as long as it never goes above the top arrow and isn't more than about 3 bars lower I'm happy.
Of course when the engine has been run it takes time for the oil to drain into the sump, so the reading will be lower. I am glad to have a dipstick but find it is less accurate than the cluster indicator. I check it from time to time to keep the cluster indicator honest.
