truncate directory names to certain length

[Wade Preston Shearer]

I have a directory full of directories that are all named in the following manner:

#####_alpha_name


I need them renamed to just:

#####

Is there an easy way via the command line to truncate them to just the first five characters (which would be just their ID number)?
