I think preflop is where the problem is...when you 4-bet preflop and he 5-bets, you have to assume you are beat here. He isn't going to 5-bet there without the goods unless he is a maniac, and it has been my experience that most micro stakes players are not so aggressive with reraising preflop...they are mostly passive, unless they have a huge pair. I think I would have probably either played for the set or maybe CR'ed the flop there after he reraised you instead of 4-betting preflop. If on the flop, he 3-bet my CR, I might have gotten away from the hand.
You played it fine on the turn...you were getting a good price to call there. But, I think you can easily let it go preflop to the 5-bet.
