We study the directed polymer model in a bounded environment in weak disorder but without $L^2$-boundedness, specifically the speed of homogenization for the field $(W_n^{0,x})_{x\in\mathbb Z^d}$, where $W_n^{0,x}$ denotes the associated martingale for the polymer starting from $x$. We show that a suitably re-centered spatial average over a set of diameter $n^{1/2}$ convergence to zero at rate $n^{-ξ+o(1)}$, where the exponent is an explicit function of the inverse temperature $β$.
