I use a lot of power tools during my work day, which can lead to massive number of steps due to the vibration.  Is there a way to edit steps or a setting related vibration that can help my Charge 5 more accurately decipher a step from 600 rpm tool vibration?

Hi there, @PlumberMan. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Charge 5. 

You could edit/change your wrist settings. For more information, see Does the wrist I wear my device on affect accuracy?

Also, note that you can edit your data. For more information, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?
