I was having the same issue and it ended up being carbon buildup. Had the dealer walnut blast the intake and problem went away. Had around 60k on my car when this happened.

Do the same to make sure it's the coil since you just replaced the plugs. If you still have a misfire on 5 make sure the plug is gapped correctly and torqued down properly. Unless the plug is covered in fuel then it is probably carbon build up.
