Just turn the heat up!  A soil temp of ~130 is just about right!   ;)
 
Seriously, mine are simmering at a soil temp of ~95.  (At least the soil at mid-cup depth.  I suspect the surface and first few mm are a bit cooler.)  They don't seem to mind, and I have no trouble germinating in the dead of summer, when the air is tickling 110.
 
I keep my thermostat sensor just inside one of the vent holes in the cell tray at one of the warmest feeling spots on the surface. Sometimes with dome on or off depending on how scared I am of dampening off. Keep thermostat set at 86 and power two lights and two mats with it. Temp usually reads between 84.2-84.9F
 
I dont have a thermostat.....i have the mat on a sheet of tile backer board and the dome on top of the mat...tons of condensation inside, had high success rate last yr, expecting same this yr.

Will give it through the weekend....with any luck, should see some activity by then.

Hope you're not serious.  Sure 5 days is unusual, but in several years of growing I've had a number of 4~5 day sprouts.
When you sprinkle water them 4 times a day and keep them at ~90f, they're gonna pop in a hurry.
