A freewheel (FW) remover only removes the FW from the hub. You need a pair of chainwhips to remove cogs from the FW body. Your not likely to find a 5spd FW with a 12T small cog you might find a 13 though.
As mentioned a 6spd FW may fit on your bike easily enough.
What year is your bike that it only has a 5spd FW?
Are you maxing out down hill?
What are your chainrings? 42/52? or more like 38/48? Or smaller? A bigger ring might be a solution.
