I would say yes. If you need 5000 keyword-rich links, then chances are you should worry more about the quality of the sites/pages linking to you, rather than the actual anchor text. Anchor text is important, but if the site/page has no authority, it's not really gonna help you that much.

Also, it is very dangerous to change anchor on the links which already online. You can't contact webmasters to change anchor text after link was indexed by search engines. It is #1 sign that you are trying to reach top search engine positions and called "anchor spam".
