In general something like "впадать в крайности" or "доводить до крайности". In your particular case I would say "такое личное качество, как xxx, опасно, если доведено до крайности".
Still, the sentence in general, looks pretty awkward to me. Probably someone will come up with a better sentence construction.

xxx, доведённое до крайности, опасно.

It looks like this:

xxx, доведённое до крайности, опасно. For example:

Храбрость, доведённая до крайности, опасна.
