Burping Bottles

I've done the same, with an overcarbed RIS like you.
I didn't totally remove the caps, I just pried them till they hissed and the beer foamed up to just below the cap (this is at room temp), then I released the cap and it sealed itself again. I did this several times with each bottle until the foam started rising considerably slower.
It was a bit of hassle, but not a huge deal, and it really saved the batch. A fizzy RIS is no good.

This is what I did. Slightly pry the cap until the foam reached the top and let go. There is enough 'give' in the rubber seal of the inside of the cap to reseal itself. I did that twice and it was good-to-go.
