If the range was the same with the 5k pot it shows that the value of the pot is not critical.
I would fit the 5k pot and replace the unused part of the 10k pot track with a 4k7 resistor.
Just hide the resistor in a bit of heat shrink and the controller will be none the wiser.
The total value will then remain close enough to 10k that it will work just fine.
