Considering backdoor Roth withdrawal strategy

I opened a 3-year-old Roth IRA and did a backdoor conversion, but now I'm unsure about withdrawing the non-taxable principal

What I wish I knew
"I should have waited longer for the account to mature"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious when withdrawing from a backdoor Roth conversion, and consider consulting a tax professional"
