Dilute the solution.
Adding solvent lowers the solute concentration toward or below the saturation point. Adding more solute would increase oversaturation; cooling usually lowers solubility (can induce precipitation but initially makes the solution relatively more supersaturated); adding a different solute won't reduce the original oversaturation.
