Try and get someone to spot you for that last set. If you can get 5 out of 6 reps,especially if 6 is a partial then you need to have someone help you get that last rep. ON the other hand if you can't find someone then keep working at that weight with either a little "cheat" and resisted let down to help with muscle growth. Don't back off on your weight.

No problem, you are doing it right as long as you give 110% with each set. Don't let your muscles tell you "you can't" - Mind over mater is a powerful tool. When you can only do say 3 out of 6 you need to look at the kind of weight being used. Plus, never just stop at 6 if you can do a few more as you need to get the muscle to failure for good growth.

sfisher is right. As long as you reached failure with the 5th rep, you've acomplished the desired goal...especially since your not that far off...
