I count into groups of 5 too. I also have a checked cloth on my sorting table.
I spread out 5 of whatever into each square and it's super easy to count.

Count by 10, 5, or 2 (depends on the size & quantity).
Check by another count, like 9 or 3 (even → odd, not a multiple, so you catch
“by one” errors), or by another method.
For instance:
— method 1: 9+1 = 10, pick 9 (or 3x3), push in a corner, pick a 10th an put in
another place.  Count the 10thes and the remainder (less than 10) to get the
total.
— method 2: 2x5 = 10, pick five times two or two times five, and push in a corner. 
Don’t care about the total, just that the remainder is the same.

But then, I mostly only count received orders.  When picking for a build, it’s
not really a problem if I’m wrong
