Time to move on, it is what it is. 5,000 rpm would have been better to start the ring break in with oil changed sooner, but your past that now. Nothing wrong with 30 wt. Fresh oil and filter with a check on the valve clearance, run it up to 6,000 with lots of varied rpm and down hill with engine braking to get the rings seated. Maybe 500 miles and change it out again, and then it's time to bring it up to redline. Rings need pressure to seat well.
