Don't add so much oil. You only need enough to wet the internal parts.

I just thought up a harebrained scheme which I never tested on my oil-port-equipped Shimano 333s. You could add a few drops every few months, then gently turn the cranks in each gear, then leave the bike tilted 45 degrees toward its right side with a rag wrapped between the sprocket and spokes and another between the sprocket and frame. And promptly wipe it down after its first ride after oiling.
