So, I figured I would actually try this for the heck of it,  in case it could add extra insight to the above two commenters, if I could get to level 5 map (rng hates me on everything in this game) and I wanted to follow up on this! I tried it with a group with highest level 36, 2 swords （Ookurikara ＆ Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki ）maxed stats from refining, plus the troops and horses listed in the screenshots below. (one screenshot is before map 5-1 clear, the second is after 5-1 clear to see any level gains and troops knocked out, and third is to just show map 5-1 is indeed cleared).

I would say that judging from 5-1, if you had all your swords maxed out, you could theoretically do it, but it would depend largely on which swords as well as pure luck. All the swords on this team could take out at least one type of map 5 enemy (red color) with one hit (wakizashi couldn't take out an enemy tachi, but they could take out an enemy wakizashi with 3 gold troops in one hit), but how well the battle went was largely dependent on which enemy swords were taken out first and which were given enough time to attack, as well as which swords we attacked versus not.

I did 5-1 twice, once with a lvl 24 tanto and versus the lvl 24 wakizashi and he was heavily damaged (down to 1 hp) in one hit with gold troop equipped and while I won the battle I retreated to the citadel to swap out. So, it's possible, but it's most likely going to depend more on luck and which swords you have in the team. And probably  if less than 4 of them  of them can take out the enemies in one hit, it's going to hurt if you get damaged and you may never make it to the boss battle depending how many nodes you have to go. So, it very well may not be worth the resources of repair and constant remaking of troops.

In my opinion, it's not worth it because you don't seem to gain all that much in the end, but I'll still probably try to get through world 5 and clear to world 6 without any extra grinding to see how far that extends (although this test was worth it because I finally managed to pick up three new swords after nothing new for two days).
