Do I even bother trying for Global Entry if I have 5 misdemeanors on my record?

CBP is not limited to use of just NCIC, but is CBP also far from being privy directly to all the databases that can say feed a very adverse ATS score?

Not exactly; 4473 has to do with buying firearms as does NCIS. It has nothing to do with the topic of this thread which is Global Entry and misdemeanors on a criminal record.
It is harder to qualify for a security clearance than to qualify for GE. It is harder to qualify for GE than to qualify to buy a gun. That seems to be the take-home point of RandomNobody's anecdotes in this thread.
RandomNobody knows people who pass a gun check but fail a security clearance ergo the feds must not recognize expungements. Flawless logic.

Doesn't the CBP also administer NLETS? That's how the FAA Aeromedical branch catches DUIs, even expunged DUIs.
But justify to yourself however you want when the question is "Have you ever..." and you say 'no', when it is in truth 'yes.' It will look better if you say "yes, but..." than "no" and the CBP finds otherwise when an expungement is missed or ignored.

You won't find it.
My point has been, "Don't lie." Granted, it hasn't been as clear as I intended.

If you are planning on travel to Canada or any other country you should check with their local consulate or Embassy in DC as each has different requirements for entry. A misdemeanor in the US could result in being inadmissible to Canada. Check with your local consulate to see how your charges equate to Canadian criminal code and see if you will be eligible for entry.
It is better to get approval before traveling that way you will not be turned back at the boarder or get a travel ban to the country.

I seem to recall that in Canada, DUI is classified as a felony.

It depends. It can be a summary offense if you get it in Canada; but if you come with a DUI from a foreign jurisdiction, because of how immigration law works up there, CBSA will treat it is a more serious crime even if you would have gotten off with a summary offense with the same conduct in Canada.
