Crew boosters are limited to five flights.
Does this mean that the crewed booster must be expended on its sixth flight?

There are no crewed boosters, only crewed Dragons. the booster used for a crewed mission must have flown 4 or fewer times prior to the mission and could have flown on any types of prior missions (Dragon, Starlink, whatever). After a booster has flown five times, it cannot be used for a crewed mission, but it can be used for other missions, usually Starlink.

By crewed boosters, I meant boosters that are certified to carry astronauts.

Do you have reason to believe that individual boosters are certified? I thought crew certification applied to the design (i.e., all of the boosters). I know that articles in the press always describe certification this way, as in "Atlas V is crew certified", or "Vulcan must be crew certified if it is to carry Starliner".

Even though I technically shouldn't bring up L2 content in a public thread, I'm sure this'll answer your question.
Per Jakusb's Falcon 9 Stage Watch, there are a number of boosters with the caption "NASA-certified" under the McGregor column. My assumption is that said boosters with the "NASA-certified" caption are those only available for Crew Dragon flights (that is until they reach the five-flight mark).
