re: Is it ever worth it to kick a FG inside the 5 yard line?

Coaches are way to conservative in the game of football.
Punt on way to many 4th downs, and when they do go for it they are way to conservative in their play calling.
Think about it like this. YOu drove the ball probably 45 yards averaging probably 7 yards + a play and you don't have faith in your team to get you the last 5. Also if you do turn it over that overly conservative coach on the other side is going to call plays that give you the ball back at the 50.
I guess it is theories like this why I am not a coach.

To the OP. Take the points while you can unless its 4th and inches and you feel confident with the sneak. Those points matter.

Pulaski Academy in Little Rock has a coach that had study statistics of punts and kickoffs, etc. They won the state championship and killed Fayetteville in preseason game, who won the largest class state championship.
They go for 2 every time, they onside kick every time, and they only punted like 4 times this year. They have about 12 different onside kick plays. It's nuts but it works for him. They were up on Cabot, a solid larger class football program, 29-0 before Cabot even got the ball on offense.
