Default Tough spot with large set

CO's line was so obtuse, I was debating folding on turn... but I figure there is enough possibility of 55/being a donkey to call...

CO is 52/15/1.2, Button is 35/15/1.7

if you never fold a set, you havent made that much a mistake. Especially against these donkeys.

the only mistake you make is to debate folding, so long as you don't do it, its alright.

Folding would never enter my mind here. I would 3-bet the turn feeling pretty good about my hand. Sure this could be QQ, but flushdraws, QJ or 55 will often play like this (possibly AA or KK as well).

What the hell, bet/cap the turn, bet/cap the river.

The only way I'd check the turn would be if I was positive it would be bet behind me and I didn't think I could bet/3bet. I'm not too sad if it gets capped on the turn. I probably would want to put in 2 bets on the river as well.

This is an interesting/awesome way to play the hand...except you forgot to raise the river. Cap the turn and then lead the river. You are probably way ahead, you need to get more money in here.

is there something here that I am not getting. Your opponents has 6 or 7 legit holdings and you are ahead of all but 1 of them. Jam every street.
