Assuming that the two holes equal a quart of oil (32 fl oz), you're only talking 2-4 extra fl oz of oil. (Not sure how good that assumption is, but it should be fairly close.)

If it were a lot easier to drain a little oil from the engine, I'd say do it. As it is, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're that obsessive about it, get a piece of small tubing and a siphon bulb and suck the excess out from the dip tube.
