At my wits end with this rolling over regression

Heres some background- LO is 5 months old as of a few days ago and has just mastered the art of rolling onto her tummy. She however, cannot roll yet from tummy to back. She has plenty of floor time during the day to try out her new skill and does it seemingly almost instinctively ALL day long. She will roll onto her tummy and get VERY angry, quite quickly. I help her practice rolling the other way but this rolling only-in-one-direction business leaves her very frustrated and upset. The entire day is spent fussing and whining and crying. She also is teething and already has tooth number one. I feel as though nothing I do makes her happy. Wake windows 2-2.5 hours throughout the day, sleeps 30-45 minutes per nap. Up for the day around 7:30-8am, down for the night between 7:30-8pm. Bedtime routine nurse, bath, song, jammies and lotion then rock to sleep.

ANYWAYS.. the night time is my worst enemy. I am up with her at least 6 times a night. After we put her down for bedtime is the most difficult. She sleeps for 40 minutes and wakes up, thinking it's a nap. She has done that for quite some time, I used to just nurse her back to sleep and she would go back down and stay down for at least 5 hours. Now it's up after 40 minutes, then 20, 15, 5, you name it. What used to be a seamless process now takes several hours. Then she's up every couple hours and to top it off she is up for about an hour between 4-5am. I am completely at the end of my rope and so sleep deprived that I am becoming depressed. This is in every way more difficult than having a newborn. It's only been 1 week of this and I can't handle it any longer.

We are ready to sleep train, HOWEVER.. she hasn't mastered rolling belly to back yet so is this even an option? Any tips to help me survive this? I feel like I'm losing my entire mind
