You could on a temporary basis, but it would blow as soon as the aggregate current on the circuit reached 5A instead of 10A. Replacing a higher value fuse with a lower fuse is not a safety hazard, but the other way around would be a hazard if you replaced a 5A with a 10 A.

Can you replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse in your home's heating and AC unit?
No, you should not replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse in your heating and AC unit. The fuse is designed to protect the system from overcurrent; using a higher-rated fuse can allow excessive current to flow, potentially damaging the unit or causing a fire hazard. Always replace fuses with the correct amperage as specified by the manufacturer.

Can you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
