It's not really that risky, just rpm -e --nodeps and then yum install php53 packages.

Do not follow this advice at all; it will most likely wreck your server.

Contact Plesk support or your hosting provider's support department and ask them about upgrading php.  Plesk, like most control panels, integrates quite tightly into your system; replacing the system default php-5.1.6 with the php53 optional package may not be supported for your environment.

This is exactly what worried me. Thanks for confirming my fears.
