Five separate stars and all the list markup may be too verbose. One option would be to use a button that allows you to cycle through 1,2,3,4, or 5 stars. The accessible name of the button would be the current star rating. An aria-description might be used to explain to the user how to cycle through the options and aria-live could be used to announced the new state on interaction.
