How do I get it down to 70%?

If it's an analog Hygrometer first make sure it's calibrated right

It may not really be 80%, but if it is calibrated or if it's digital I'd leave the lid open for awhile till it dried out a bit and maybe look into getting a new Humidifier.

The humidifier is supposed to be able to not only humidify the humidor but it should be able to suck up the excess humidity too.

Good luck!

edit: Not sure, maybe the humidifier got a bit over saturated? I'd probably pull out the humidifier and wait for it to go down.
