Now that 5.0.0.0/8 is being allocated, you need to move out of it (so that your users can reach the real 5.0.0.0/8 sites).
Why wouldn't this be sufficient justification for a new /8 from ARIN?
Because it's not ARIN's job to clean up someone else's stupid. You chose to use address space that would eventually be allocated, thus creating a (future) mess for yourself; now you're left to live with it. (For the record, there's no easy way out of that mess now.)
