Module the possiblity of lost of folks connecting to your service at port 5000 for nefarious porpoises, what makes you think that the very small (yes, that is actually small) number of TIME_WAIT connections shown in the initial posting is in any way a problem on your system?

The HP-UX networking stack can handle literally millions of connections in TIME_WAIT without undue stress. There should be no need to reduce tcp_time_wait_interval or otherwise try to circumvent what is an integral part of TCP's mechanisms to avoid silent data corruption.
