It is do able, but you need to rebuild all ports.
And to go from 5.5 to 8 it is adviced to go trough all major version,
like 6 and 7 and then go to 8.

So my take is, backup all your data, and config files and do a
reinstall.
This way you make sure there are no un needed libs and old stuff laying
around which can clobber your system.
