as my title says, made 2 mistakes. got minor gushing after 2 weeks of bottle conditioning.
today I vented all of my beers and recapped. hopefully i was able to fix this.
why am I writing this? It seems there are no definite answers for this on the forum. This is always suggested but never answered. I will update in a few weeks.

final update and summary for everyone:
I made a beer and with bad timing, bottled after 5 days.
2. I overprimed a bit
3. started getting gushers
4. decided to unvent all of my beers and re-seal them with a bottle capper.
5. I let all my beer sit in room temperature for over a week.
6. I put some bottles in the fridge, some kept in room temperature
7. bottles in fridge dont gush, bottles in room temperature gush but very little. meaning you uncap and see foam, but you have more than enough time to pour. fridge bottles are perfect (I only tested 2 on room temperature to make sure they wont explode.
Conclusion: partially venting until foam reaches the cap, and resealing may cure overprimed gushing beer bottles
