The full mark is where I would want it to be.
Smidge over, not the end of the world, but if we're talking full glass, then syphon some out with a squirty bottle pipe.

How much above the full mark is it when checking dead cold?
It doesn't take very much extra oil in the crankcase to be showing way over full.
The other alternative is to leave it as it is, to eventually burn off and come down of it's own accord over time.

Leave it.
There's nothing to be concerned with at all.
You're probably looking at 30-50 ml of oil(tops) in volume of tolerance.
Actually you ought to think yourself lucky, as it's often been reported that the bikes are way over full, to the tune of about 200 ml or more with the oil level at somewhere over the top of the sight glass after a service.
You dealer has done a good job and paid attention to detail
In summary, the oil quantity stated by DUCATI is too much at 3.7 litres.
The amount they actually take is closer to 3.5 litres.
Go and ride the tits off it and enjoy
