Is there an easy way to drain out 1/2 a liter?

By my calculations, he used 2 x 4.4 litre jugs and 3/4 of a liter bottle = 9.5 liters.

When I said that with the engine cold, the oil level "covered the ENTIRE red plastic blob on the dipstick", it should be mentioned that the Max fill line on the red plastic blob is somewhat LESS than the whole length of the blob. So it is definitely overfilled.

The oil was drained during a brake job so it was completely drained (1 hour of draining on a hoist). So I'm figuring it's borderline overfilled.

I wonder if Porsche designed some idiot-proofing into the dipstick level. That is, I pretty sure it's 0.5 litres over. But if this is within an acceptable tolerance, I'll leave it. If not, I'll have to get it out somehow. Anyone know?
