<< 5 mm radius to the endpoints of each line, then use these circles to cut the lines? This should too works for arcs

Vclone by Max can help you for this!

Work for only one extremity of something selected: Lines , arcs; curves etc...
So apply one time then select all lines Press Tab and write Flip
re-apply Vclone so all extremities will have their "circles" ;) (not shown here)

Well whether it works for arcs or not depends on what result you need.

If you need to cut 5mm of "arc length" (distance as traveled like an ant walking along the curved arc), then no that wouldn't work.

If you wanted a result that placed the new arc's endpoint at 5mm "point to point" distance instead of arc length distance then yes that would work.
