The main problem if you export and import only the users will be the passwords I think. Drupal 7 uses a new password hashing algorithm (see <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://drupal.org/node/29706">http://drupal.org/node/29706</a>), so you cannot just copy the user table. Probably best would be to make a new fresh Drupal 5 installation with only core and garland as theme, copy the user table in there <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">(f.i. with phpmyadmin or backup_migrate module) and then perform the consequent updates of that simple installation to d6 and d7. When you run update.php to finalise the d7 installation the passwords will be updated.<div>

I'm no expert, and maybe this will encourage a better reply. I've only worked with Drupal 6, and soon 7.<br>

"If upgrading from one major version to another, such as from 4.6 to 6.16, you must upgrade to the latest release within your site's major version (4.7), then the latest release within the next major version (5.22), and finally to the latest release within the current major version."<br>
