By swapping the coil pack of the incident cylinder with another and have the same misfire code re-trigger, it tells you that the coil pack was not the problem and the misfire is due to something else at cylinder #5. That could be a spark plug, bad fuel injector, circuit issue with either the harness to the coil pack OR the fuel injector, faulty ECM or a mechanical issue with the engine.
Since you replaced the spark plug and it started running well for awhile and then acted up, again, it would likely not be a mechanical issue. It's possible it could be an intermittently failing fuel injector or a harness issue, but you'll have to do some tests. If you want a well laid out diagnostic procedure, you can follow the diagnostics for the P0305 code in the "EC" (Engine Control) section of the factory service manual for your vehicle.
