That doesn't burn-off moisture in the oil - it adds it.
It takes getting the oil up to operating temp (212F), not the coolant, and having it sit there for more than 10 minutes to burn-off contaminants. Starting-up to burn-off contaminants is counter-productive.
Change the oil before storing, then don't start it again until you are ready to really ride.
