Default oil leak in spark plug hole

is it safe to pull out the spark plug with oil in the hole . will it risk oil getting inside the combustion chamber? already change all gaskets and grommets. could there be any other reason for the leak?

No, I only changed the spark plug seals, the grommets, and valve cover gasket. But will it be a really bad idea to put out the spark plugs with oil in it and risk getting oil into the combustion chamber?

not a big deal. as long as u replaced the tube seals, the 4 orings on the underside of the valve cover ull be fine. it may smoke for a bit but youll be fine.

You could blow compressed air in there and put a rag over the top to catch it. If a little oil gets in there you'll be fine. You're car will be blowing out blue smoke for a little bit though.
