You are confusing the printed representation with the object (which seems 
today's favourite misconception).

as.matrix(summary(npk.aov)[[1]])

is a matrix (to full precision) as you seek, although I would prefer to 
work with the data frame which is returned.

(Note: your output is from MASS4 & example(aov), unattributed.)
