I almost never fish with anything bigger than a #18 or #20 fly. Fish eat a lot of small stuff in the stream. You should be able to get 5x tippet through the eye. Just have to use nail clippers to make the tag end of your tippet very crisp. That little bit of extra strength in 5x makes a big difference.
