Does it need to be stripped down or

Dump out the excess oil, clean the plug and crank it.

If it doesn't start, repeat as necessary.

If gas leaked in oil is ruined and will ruin the motor from thin oil.

What would cause gas to leak into the oil?

gas will also varnish up everything as it cooks out.

Pfft. *Varnish up what?

If there's any gas in the oil it'll boil out between 100-400°F. *If it
varnishes up anything it will either wear off or burn off.

It's a mower. *You can buy a whole damn brand new one for less than
$200.

If there is gas in it the oil wont lubricate, gas is thinner than
water so just use water and have fun.
