Germanic fimf would either be a result of **pempe or a borrowing from either P-Celtic or P-Italic or P-whatever, wouldn't it? Because we ain't got no P-Germanic or at least one I ever heard of.

I don't think "Italo-Celtic" actually existed, except for some lexical
and morphological isoglosses, some of them shared with Germanic, as in
