I force carbed my dubbel that I brewed about 5 weeks ago but its not ready and I would like to condition it longer. Is there any chance I can take it out of the kegerator and have it condition more at room temperature without hurting it?
A big part of your problem is it's in the kegger. It will condition faster if you take it out and let it warm up a bit.

I like to give my kegs at least 2 weeks conditioning at the temperature it was fermented at. Then the ales go on tap, and the lagers, now can go into my new lager chamber. Before that they just sat in the cool basement.
You can move kegs back and forth, and long as they don't get to hot. I've got a Belgian dark strong that I drank about half of this spring and then took it off line. It'll go back on line as soon as a tap is available.

+1 No problem yanking a keg out to condition further. I have done it several times with excellent results.
