Maybe you can try some plain jane Autolites or the single electrode Bosch and see if that helps.
If you had bad blowby those plugs would be much, much worse.
Have you tried switching the coil pack for Cyl 5 to another cylinder to see if the misfire follows? That is a BMW trick I learned since those things eat coil packs. Not even sure if you can do that on one of these motors (I am still learning my Mach) but that is the fastest, easiest and by far the cheapest diagnostic you can do.

The coils are new and in working condition. I took another members advice and added Marvel Mystery oil into my gas tank to see if that'll loosen up the "sticking valve"(I sure hope that's the problem). I say a couple more gas tanks of this treatment and we'll have to wait and see. I'm also planning on using seafoam to get rid of carbon build-up.
