I'm looking for any advice about beating these 10 person sit and goes where the top 5 double their money and the other 5 get nothing. It would seem that in some situations, it wouldn't even be good to gii with pocket aces (like if the 5th person is about to get blinded out)

Get some sort of icm tool like sngwizard or icmizer and after you play a game run all the hands through it and review all of your mistakes. The icm in doublers is very important to understand. Or set your icm tool to quiz and set the format to 10 man double or nothing and practice until you are making very few mistakes.

PS has them, but they don't fill in so fast.
They have such tournaments with buy-ins above 10 dollars, but those never fill in.

These are a lot of fun to play, but as said you need to understand ICM. Or if you are playing at tables where the pool may not understand ICM either, at least have notes or a hud so that you can range them. One other thing to note is the payout structure, and rake. The ones that I have played are not a true DBL up due to the rake, and you need to win 60-70% of the games you play to be profitable. GL!

Read some satellite strategy and approach in much the same way as prizes are the same.

They have these same double or nothing format at Betonline. Because the table is full of recs usually, I found it quite easy to beat and make it top 5, top 3 for 6 max, etc.
