i am also about to put my brew into my keg for the first time, but the FG reading is still sitting on 1020 after 6 days, the airlock is still bubbling every 30s to 1 minute, but i know not to judge by this.
the brew is a hoegaarden style using a wheatmalt so i know reading should be a bit higher, it smells and tastes great, a little clowdy though,and lots of bubles, i am getting the same reading after 24 hours the temp of my fermenter is 24.
is it dangerous to keg it or not?

MM,
Millions of litres of beer have been brewed successfully with open fermentation practices where the brewer had no lid at all! Don't forget, your beer has a good dose of alcohol in it and it would take a pretty hardy bacteria to overpower your fermented wort at this juncture. A sanitised spoon will not be a problem and rousing stuck ferments is common practice - fear not, you'd be most unlucky to lose a batch to infection at this stage.
Cheers,
