Is this fifth force something that could disappear with more precise measurements of the known 4 forces?

There is nothing to disappear. There isn’t a fifth force to within experimental precision. TFA is about an increase in that experimental precision which further reduces the possibility (or at least the magnitude) of any yet undiscovered “fifth force.”
The fifth force is already a hypothetical. More precise measurements would make the hypothetical force weaker and weaker.
