Just drain it and fill it with oil and you should be good to go.
Way back in the days of yore, mechanical fuel pumps on 'Merican cars would
get a hole in the diaphragm and would fill crankcase with gas. No biggie,
just drain it out and refill.
If it were me, I would check the needle and seats in your carbs, even with
the front end up, I would think the gas should have not filled the
crankcase.
