Relax, your car is fine. My BRZ is over filled that much at the moment, no issues. I got a little heavy handed with the 1 gallon container, think I filled to 6 qts instead of 5.7.
I looked for but cannot locate a picture that shows (clearly) the angle of the dip stick in the oil pan. It dips into the oil pan at a shallow angle. So: 1/4 inch on the dipstick = much less in terms of oil level.
I did about 30 oil changes on my 04 WRX. That car was "4.8 qts" capacity with filter. I always dumped 5 qts in and called it good. Never an issue in 190k miles.
I would not attempt to remove excess oil unless I was > 0.5 qt over filled.
