Fill it with a quality 5w30 oil and start it. The little bit of oil left in the galleys will give a tiny bit of lubricant and it takes about 2 seconds to build up pressure when cranking. If the engine is so close to the edge that a few seconds of operation at 0 oil pressure will lead to failure it was too close to be driven safely anyway. Now if you were using Fram oil filters with some that had the failing anti-drain back valves that made every start a dry start the accumulation would eventually cause issues - especially on a modern automotive engine. I would add a quality stop leak to the oil as the seals and gaskets have probably all gotten a bit dry.
Take for instance a Farmall H with a canister oil filter. To my knowledge it does not have an anti-drain back system of any consequence (with the bypass and all) and has been started dry every time it has sat for more than a week. Then its 80 year old oil pump takes about a minute to get oil pressure up to 35 PSI. I don't hesitate to start it or go through any elaborate starting procedure.
