I've never poked a hole in an inverted filter. Break the seal, let it drain a bit, unscrew a tad more and lift, let it drain, etc. Be patient and it will drain back into the remote filter pad and you can remove it without spilling a drop. Usually takes just a few minutes for it to fully drain so you can remove it. If you get in a big hurry or unscrew it too far too soon then you will have a mess on your hands. I usually sit with a beer after I crack it open and occasionally lift up on the filter to ensure it is draining.
