This is why you have to accept a Pardon.
If you want to be able to plead the 5th don’t accept the Pardon. It’s the basis of the Supreme Court case which people use as the evidence for saying acceptance of the Pardon is an admission of guilt.
It’s about the only condition that has been placed on thr Pardon Power by the Supreme Court.
