Try it.

There are about 50 sub-versions of 5.1, and a dozen of 5.5. Even if you specified which ones, I don't care to wade through the dozens of change logs to see if there is something that caused a format incompatibility.

I have heard of an in compatibility going from 4.1 to 5.1. It was solved by some obscure REPAIR or ALTER that existed just for this purpose.

So, even if it does not work perfectly when you try it, there may be a way to "fix" it.
