sp_droprolemember fails with "Cannot use the special principal 'dbo'"

I'm running on SQL 2005 (SP2) and have a database user with db_owner (see before.jpg).  I would like to remove this dbo access via

   USE [EktronCMS400DVL]
   GO
   EXEC sp_droprolemember N'db_owner', N'dbo'
   GO

When I try to run this SQL, I receive the following error:

   Msg 15405, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_droprolemember, Line 76
   Cannot use the special principal 'dbo'.
