Energy can neither be created or destroyed, so as long as the object had some heat to it, then it could never cool down to 0k because that initial heat it brought with it would be in the system somewhere. Unless you were to isolate the object, and then remove the energy from the quarantine, then that energy will still be in the system somewhere.
