I need help opening some old After Effects CS5 files...I do not have any version of the software that can handle these files anymore...are there any work arounds or plugins that can help?

I just opened this file from 2006 in CC 2020:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ra5e8gwlkqd58r6/3DTxt.aep?dl=0

It was created with AE version 8.0.2 and that was CS3.

It was converted on import to the latest version but opened up just fine:

You should be able to open a CS5 file in any current version of After Effects. 

If you don't have AE, you have a problem, but if you do, the project should open up just fine. Feel free to download the sample project and give it a try.
