Unless a bunch of other people say they have problems with 5th gear grinding, I'd say it's just your technique.
It's not a sports car with a short throw shifter.

The trans in ours does not like speed shifting. Mine does it as well only on full throttle pulls. Same issue in 4-lo as well, have to really shift slowly to keep from grinding in low.
