Nordic Bluetooth 5.0 Breakout board
I am highly interested in developing a project involving bluetooth 5.0
  on a nordic device, namely the NRF52840. However the package of this
  device is beyond my capabilities/kit for soldering


Start by purchasing an NRF52840 development board: -



You can do an awful lot of development using this then, when you are ready, get PCBs made and get someone with the right tools to solder them up for you.
