Don't worry 'bout it.... The dipstick isn't that accurate anyway and 3-5mm's is nothing bad. 3-5 inches is bad.

You could get one of those fluid pumps and siphon some out from the dipstick tube.
Another trick is if you have access to air and have a blower nozzle is to take a length of vacuum line and about an inch from the end put a slice in it and jab the air nozzle into the cut. This will start a vacuum to pull the fluid up out of the dipstick hole, just watch because it could blow all over the place.
