overfilled tranny fluid

well after changing the atf in my truck, i overfilled it approx 1/2 quart. the transmission in my truck is a e4od and on the dipstick the fluid shows approx 1/2 to 1/4 inch above the top of the crosshatch section. fluid was checked when hot and truck was running.

should i drop the pan and drian some or forget about it...

Is the level above the crosshatch area and was it measured with the engine running?
