There are two important things that stand out at first here.
The first is that X is quite behind in the race - which will continue to be behind even after playing 5-5. The second is that he has a homeboard that is more inclined to attack. But the first is a much more dominant element. That's why bar/10, 15/10
would be my first choice. At least it's blocking O's direct exit.
I do not think that the blot left on the 15 point is very risky. Attacking against a single man will not be very effective.

XG 3-ply plays bar/15 8/3(2) here but the rollout puts that play in
whopper territory. Usually when one is behind in the pip count, one
tries to stay back for more contact. However, leaving the straggler
on the 20pt leaves it vulnerable to attack. And once X plays bar/15,
his best strategy is to prime O's back checkers. It's not easy to
prime an advanced anchor, but it's X's best game plan here.
