I accidentally put a little to much oil in my sxs, do I need to drain some, or will it be alright? It is above the top line. If so, what would be the easiest way to drain just a little. Or would I need to remove one of the plugs again. Or would I have to drain a little from each plug?

Probably the easiest way is to use an oil sucker device. This is handy for all manner of tasks, like adding oil to differentials etc. It's cheap, effective, and a good tool to have around. Stick it in the filler hole and take out the excess: link to suction tool

Cant suck oil from fill cap, the engine has a mesh screen directly below the hole.

Youd be better off going through the dipstick hole.

Thank you I appreciate it.
Are those 20 gallon ones the smallest one I could get?

The suction device, I linked to above, is small only 1/5 quart. They come in all sizes though, including versions with a thin enough intake tube to fit down a dipstick hole.
