a little too much

Do you say "a little too much"?
Oh.. this is a little too much. (Salt in the soup is too much).

That phrase suddenly came to mind and I thought um.. it sounds okay, but thinking it through, it sounds irony because too much is just too much not a little.
What's your opinion?

Yes, you can use it. It means a little bit more than necessary, not a huge amount more, just a little.

Oh.. I see. Thank you.
Then, I think my new question is something to do with an "a little too much" phrase.

A classic stereotype is that men are better at math than women, but there has been little solid evidence to explain this.

Actually, I think this sentence is a little related to "a little too much" because here little solid evidence means "there's not much evidence" r

moon7296little solid evidence means "there's not much evidence" right?
Yes, little here means not much. Solid here means reliable or trustworthy.
