I don't think your weight distribution hitch will help you here, as it takes weight off the hitch and rear axle of the TV and shifts it to the trailer axle and front axles of the TV. By putting your weight on the rear of the trailer, you will be removing weight from the hitch, and will have less need of a WDH.
I would look more at putting the bikes on the front of the trailer in a manner acceptable to your WDH, and then cinching up the WDH to shift that additional 200# back to the trailer axle and front to the TV front axle. I think the Equalizer is an excellent WDH and can handle it.
The collar arrangement should work well if your shank is long enough. I know ours could be extended a couple more inches if necessary and longer shanks do exist. But then, 5 bikes is a lot of bikes.
