cut the top inch or two off the tube with a pipe cutter to avoid contamination of metal flakes. Then cut the same amount off the dipstick so you can measure properly?

Or drill into the center of the stick's handle/plastic with a small drill bit and thread a wood screw in there a few turns, yank it out...

the easiest way to remove the dipstick is to remove the bolt holding the dipstick tube. Once this bolt is removed the dipstick tube can be wiggled out of the oil pan. Once the dipstick tube is removed the dipstick can be simply pushed up and out of the dipstick tube
