Was 5-5 only bad luck? Probably not. You dont have particularly great equips or ships, so theres definitely room for improvement in your 5-5 runs. Furthermore, learning mechanics may futher improve your chances. But you can definitely clear 5-5 with your current fleet.

Do you have a chance to clear all hard in winter? Definitely. Your ships are decent and equips are alright. Will you? that depends on your pateince and willpower. A lot of events is just not getting too emotional. Clearing/farming takes time. You have to have the patience to work for your goal and the willpower to keep pushing for it after you've failed mutliple times. If you cant do that, then you won't be able to clear hard events.

If you really want to improve your chances, learn game mechanics. When i started, I spent hours figuring out best set ups and learning mechanics so i can improve my chances at clearing as much as possible. And the work i put in is probably the reason why I've been pretty successful in all my events so far. user:Hayashi H has some good guides/blogposts about mechanics if you want to learn them.
