you really shouldnt do that. you might find that your dipstick pops up every once in a while. its possible to blow seals and cause leakage (so ive heard, and witnessed).
make sure you are on flat ground when checking the levels.

Overfilled is bad. It causes the fluid to foam up which hurts cooling.

I drained some tranny fluid once by taking some airline tubing used for fish tank pumps and siphoning it though the dipstick tube. Just don't swallow

You can drain some by opening the drain a few turns then tightening back up. Usually it'll work without leaking
