I was asking a similar question yesterday and someone suggested taking aluminum foil, folding it a few times to strengthen it and then slipping it into a corner of the 'bator to cover over some of the area where the surface of the water is exposed. If that brings the humidity down a bit, but not enough, repeat with another corner and so on.

I haven't done it (my humidity stabilized where I wanted it soon after I put the eggs in) but it sounded reasonable since the humidity depends on the amount of surface water that is exposed to air...
