Yes, a 5BB stack will pretty much negate any advantage you have.
But if you play them, and they double up, you now have put yourself in a +ev situation against a larger stack that you wouldn't have if you quit.
So your expectation against the short stack isn't just -rake, it also includes future hands with larger edges if they double up.

WTF? Any amount of money he runs up over the initial 5bbs is money that would have been yours if you quit. If he doesn't reload, all you can ever win is the 5bb. If he runs his stack up to 25bb, you might have 65/35 edge over him, but 80% of the money he's playing is yours.
