M5 and 10-32 threads are very similar. If you express the pitch and diameter in the same measurement units, M5 is 5mm diameter whereas 10-32 is 4.7625. Threads per inch, 10-32 is 32tpi and M5 is 31.75tpi. So both will "fit" the other but not perfectly because of the slight size differences and different thread forms.
