NEBUCHADNEZZAR.... cheers both....I thought "drunk" was indicating an anagram, but not so, cheers.

5d. Paternal attempts to include RE separately for people of like mind
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Parse?

notaz good clue
it's bids of a father (paternal attempts)
with re separately inserted
on second thoughts, it's quite clever, but i still don't like it!

Well sussed, ChrisE....i don't like the clue.

9a. Attack at the front - retreating, nothing is captured
INVASION
Parse?

IN VAN at the front
including IS backwards
and O (nothing)

Cheers ChrisE....didn't know IN VAN meant 'in front '

5a. Calling rich person worn out? Good
NO-BALLING
Parse?

I assume this is NOB + ALL IN + G. Not sure that all in means worn out, but Chambers has ‘exhausted’. No-ball is a ‘call’ (by the umpire) in cricket but I’ve never heard of no-balling.

NO-BALLING.... Thanks Jono. Other than cricket, never heard of 'no-balling'... It came from the same crossword as BIRDS OF A FEATHER, which I also didn't like.
