5000 ft isn't high with an airliner doing antics.

Have you seen Mentour Pilot's video on trim forces ?
I'm surprised you are saying the Captain could have continued for hundreds of seconds.
One must take fatigue into account - being nervous or physical - this is not a video game.
We don't have control column forces in the preliminary report, but examining the trend of the pitch position curve, we can see the pilot was slowly loosing his fight. (blue curve)
