This wouldn't technically be learning more than 5 skills but if you use a spellbook and dialogue boxes you can make a hero have more than five at one time. Do a forum search for spellbook on this site or on the tutorial section on wc3campaigns.net

Agreed but that would'nt work with increasing hero abilities naturaly... you would have to trigger it... i think
 
Engineering Upgrade

You cannot actually get around the 5 skill limit of heroes; I've tried editing the object data directly and more than five just seems to crash WE.

You can, however, make different versions of the Engineering Upgrade ability to change the spells being learned. This tied with a few triggers and some "dummy" spells can make a bug-free ability-learning system.

A "simple" example of the system is attached. If you actually use it, credit would be nice!
