Have a shot at game

If LHO is 1255 with A, I can win Q, lead a spade to LHO's ace, draw a second trump if they haven't played one, take a ruffing finesse in spades, and later lose a spade.

 

If he's 1165 or 2155, I can win Q, lead a spade to the ace, win A, cross to a diamond, playK, 10 covered and ruffed, diamond to dummy, 9 covered and ruffed, diamond. I lose a trump trick too, but that's the lot.

 

I can't see a way to cater for all of these distributions, however. To bid like this with only 5-5, LHO would have to have KQJ9x KQJ9x in each of his suits. Also, he'll probably play a second trump if he has one. If he doesn't, I'll play for him to be 6-5.
