Acetone not only has a similar moisture problem, it's deadly to the rubber  
parts. 
Dry DOT 3/4/5.1 is supposed to be miscible with DOT 5. So, DOT 5 will chase  
the other stuff out of the system. Perhaps flush with fresh DOT 3 and then DOT 
 5...

How  about using acetone (a drying agent) instead of alcohol?  If that's not  
good, does flushing the DOT3 out with DOT5 result in some kind of residue  
problem? Does the DOT3 interact with the DOT5 and leave nasty stuff in the  
system?

Given that denatured alcohol residue is a BYOTCH to  remove without drying 
out the system with heat, a vacuum pump, etc. (do NOT  blow air through it, as 
that will just add moisture!), I'd suggest NOT doing  this. Flush with brake 
fluid.
