2020.02 is a stable release (and even an LTS). Backports into such a
branch is limited to build fixes, and security fixes. No new feature is
backported there.

Note however that you should be able to specify that you want to use a
custom headers version (or a custom kernel version), and that you can
set it to 5.5.
