In taking a foreign tax credit, I can pay less taxes if my foreign qualified dividends is less than $20,000. I just need to report $1,162 as ordinary instead of qualified.

No, you are not allowed to mis-report the type of dividends you received. You need to accurately report all items of income on your tax return.
