Okabe's first intention was to
interrogate Moeka about her message. Only when she was clearly not responding, he tried to forcibly grab her phone.
You cannot question an unconscious person, so your suggested methods don't work. Heck, if the problem was just getting the phone, he could have waited until Moeka fell asleep! But Okabe didn't think that far, he just wanted to send the D-mail as soon as possible. This is human and understandable.
I don't blame him, in fact I praise him for being so restrained and even apologizing afterwards to Mayuri's killer. And if you say that Moeka won't kill anyone in this particular timeline, I can retort that even Okabe's actions will be erased after he sends the right D-mail.
