The only practical way to downgrade that I'm aware of is to reinstall, clean, from a pre-point release ISO image. Obviously, you'll need to make appropriate backups before you proceed. This will certainly be the quickest way, assuming (per comments) that it's a non-production system (i.e. one with little or no user data present, installed just for testing, learning, or certification).

You'll also need to unselect the option to load updates during installation, and turn off automatic updating on the new installation, otherwise the new install with promptly update itself to 16.04.1 again.
