I’d add regular oil back in.
Turn it over a number of times. Then I’d drain it. Might do that again depending on if you smell any hint of gear oil in the drained oil.
After that, I’d fill it and run it briefly in neutral. Then drain and refill.

All these variations on a theme…probably be okay with any of them. What I would do: drain the l/u oil, dump in a quart of Marvel Mystery oil, unhook the spark plug(s), turn it over for a bit, drain it, refill with correct oil, run for a while, drain and refill.
Maybe kind of a belts and suspenders approach, but I have a 22 year old 90 hsp Yamaha 2 stroke that still runs like a champ and has never given me a problem

Drain it. Put in cheap oil. Run it a bit. Drain that. Cheap oil again. Run it a bit. As in idle it until temps come up or maybe 15 minutes or so. Drain and put a new filter on and the right oil.
We used to drain old oil in grandpas dodge truck. Dump in a gallon of diesel. Run it for 30 seconds or so IIRC, drain and put new oil in. Truck ran a LOT of miles for an old engine. The flush must have never hurt.
But I dont' think you have to here. I suspect just a straight drain and refill with oil and run and the dilution numbers will be so insignificant that would be way more than enough anyway. But the change oil twice is what we do with a motor that went under water.

Drain it and fill it with the proper oil and go on. When my son swamped my 4 wheeler, we drained the oil, pulled the plugs and poured diesel through it to get the moisture out. Since you have oil in it and not water, just draining and refilling with proper oil should be fine.

It should be fine. Drain it. Fill it with the correct oil.
