My eyes and hands get lost when it comes to 5*+, mainly because either my fingers can't tap fast enough or my eyes can't read fast enough.

no seriously, play more. my right hand used to be completely unable of playing anything over 5* because it was too slow, but i played a lot of stuff i could barely play and was able to improve my speed. stamina directly affects speed so train on your stamina
since the above answers are correct, i'd just like to mention that the incorrect answer is just mashing out 5-6star stream maps and getting a B. tried that, it doesnt work out so well.
methodical monkey mashing or brute forcing to improve speed can work pretty well if you know how to do it, gettings Bs or playing the same easy to manip maps will probably get you nowhere tho, you gotta know what you're doing if you gonna brute force some speed and even then, you gotta train that speed by playing properly, otherwise you just gonna be some bad monke masher who gets cheap scores
In this case though, you're not being very specific with what is "+5*" maps, after 5* the star rating becomes especially useless so just saying 5* is eh
id recommend seeing what type of patterns you struggle with and practice them on slower speeds or easier versions of that pattern to get the hang of it

I just broke through the wall you're talking about recently, so I can give you a pretty comprehensive answer.
Looking at your profile, you're nowhere near ready to take on full 5*. However, feel free to try some of the easier PP maps such as Triumph and Regret, or Capsaicin. What I'm assuming you're referring to as "lost when it comes to 5*+" and "can't tap fast enough" is the spam part in the middle of Capsaicin. Don't worry about that, I can barely hit it either.
For now focus on beating more and more 4* maps. Then S as many as you can. Make sure you learn a variety of patterns like Jackhammers and Long Notes because you won't be able to progress much further with just jumpstream/trill. Sometime after you can confidently S most 4* maps, you will hit a wall where you can't beat 5*.
Once you do get there, you have to stay motivated. This wall is probably the one that separates casual and serious players. The hardest thing will be staying motivated and wanting to play, as anything below 5* feels too easy while anything above 5* feels spamming (which its not, I promise). Make some friends, play fun maps, and FARM PP.
Farming PP is really looked down on in mania because it seems to be pointless, but for me it is what got me through my rut. Seeing your rank rise is really a motivation booster. You'll notice some days you do really well while others you suck. It happens a lot.
In osu!mania your physical tapping speed isn't that much of an issue until 6* and above. Most of the time its a mental block, and while most people just say to "play more", it shouldn't be monotonous practice. On those days you do really well, you'll get more confident about your reading ability and that mind block will be cleared over time.
TL;DR, play more, get lucky, and clear mental blocks.
