At this point you have zero idea how much damage has been done. If you are prepared to potentially turn your engine into trash and pay for a new one, then by all means drive it. If I were you, I'd flatbed it to the mechanic.

You can remove the oil filter cannister to reduce the oil level. You may need to do this several times, checking the level between each time. The cannister holds about 1 bar's worth of oil on the electronic grid.
