Hi Jana, I believe you can deduct the area that does not comply. In addition, I would suggest to take a look your building design, High illuminance level usually means that your room will receive direct sunlight. Regarding glare control, you may provide luminance/glare study and try to prove that the glare will not be a problem in your space. There are many glare control strategies, outside common strategies mentioned in LEED reference. In this credit, LEED actually wants to address 2 issues in daylight design such as illuminance level issue and luminance issue. The glare requirement is to address luminance issue, while your simulation/calculation is to address illuminance level issue. Hope it helps...
