I don't think 5 thou is a lot - regardless I would not double head gaskets - infact I never would. You can order custom thickness gaskets from Cometic if you need them, but I dont think 5thou would warrant that

You will be okay.  My deck was milled .0025 and my head was milled .0025.  I used a factory thickness comedic gasket, which was .040.

Never double up the gasket, it won't hold.
