Taking a different dose to pen

hi
ive recently received my 5mg pen however want to take less than 5mg dosage to have a more gradual build up.
Im Using insulin needles to extract the dosage (find that easier than the “proper” way however I’m going round in circles trying to work out how much I should be withdrawing into the needle. I’m having a complete mental block.

it’s a 1ml needle with 10 markers (photo attached) - if I wanted to take a full dose should it be 60 on the needle and less for smaller doses or am I miscalculating here?

sorry it’s probably a really obvious answer but I’m having real brain fog🙂
