Should I drain the 20W/50 that's in it? It's only been turned over and ran for
about 15 seconds, so nothing to lose.

Yes. Remember, this is for break-in, which
means that the oil must allow the rings to seat....which means, basically, to
wear themselves to conform to the shape of the cylinders they are in. Too
much lubrication protection means that the rings can't wear enough to become
"seated".
The break-in oil is not meant to stay in the engine
for longer than it takes to seat the rings. It's called "break-in"
oil for a good reason, so don't use it for anything but the short, break-in
period.
Years ago, when I used to build my own VW engines,
I used non-detergent Kendall 10W, (20W in hot weather) as recommended by
world-renowned, air-cooled VW guru Gene Berg, for the break-in period,
which was only a few hundred miles. Those engines always gave me 100,000
miles of good service, before I tore them down for overhaul. I was always
amazed by how little wear I found after that much mileage, on Kendall (now Brad
Penn) oil.
