You are required not to drop to single user, but instead reboot to single user, which surely resets securelevel. [see UPDATING] to avoid clashing between kernel and userland not-in-sync, you may be required to reboot to single user twise (once for installing new kernel, and the second to install new userland under new kernel working).

You will installworld during single-user mode without (or with restricted) networking and opening services, then go to multiuser with securelevel increased.
