I don't think you can add anything to 5e to make it good.
I think you could take things away from 5e to make it good.
I think that if 5e was small enough to fit as a 1-page cheat sheet, maybe on both sides, and then each player has their character sheet too (printed out from the character creator app), then that'd be a small enough game to help do the only thing that 5e does at all well: Be extremely accessible to beginners, just a vague hook to improv and roleplay with. See if you like the hobby, see if you should maybe go buy a "real" book to learn the complicated version (3.5) or if you only care about laughs and you just want the 1-page version of the game.
