I understand and I agree, but regardless the game theory and the disincentives to destroy bitcoin for miners, technically speaking mining 5 blocks in a row could give them the chance to "rewrite" the blockchain history for those blocks?

I suppose technically, but they can't predict ahead of time when they will ever get "5 blocks in a row".
Its like being able to predict: Starting now, I'm going to flip a coin and get heads to come up 8 times in row. Certainly theoretically possible but very very unlikely.
