This is maybe the most difficult scenario and is a matter of spirit before tactic before technique.
Very few people can really fight through 5 attackers. I have seen it done, but that is an exceptionally well trained and tough person and a lot of luck.
The first thing to do is change your mind set:
there is actually no such thing as being attacked by 5 people.
You are being attacked by one plus one plus one plus one plus one.
The main man will be coming for you and his mates will be following him.
If he takes you down, they will all follow his lead and pile in.
You have to reverse this.
The best method is to double tap the main man and the closest of his mates.
BANG! BANG!
"Who's f**king next?!!"
Now, if all 3 rushed you they would cause you a problem.
But you are not dealing with THREE people. You are dealing with
one plus one plus one.
Each ONE of them is thinking "Not me" and backing off.
The Karate kata Jutte means "Ten hands" - meaning the ability to fight opponent's at once. It is the 2nd dan kata. This is where our spirit, tactics, and LASTLY techniques can be found.
