please don't do that, such things are a no go. Just do a new version tag
like 5.0.1. No serious OSS project does such things you are asking about.

You don't want to force other people to do work again once there is a
tagged version!

Once a version is out, well it's out! And he, what's the problem with a
new micro/patch version, they are exactly made for such reasons.
