No matter what he does, you'll be able to take one of his 20-siders.
If he doesn't focus, you could take the 20-sider showing 10 with a 4 die skill attack. This would force him to choose between taking your largest die and trying to protect his largest die (a decision which may be easy, depending on your rerolls).
If he focuses using the die showing 5, he gets to take your 17-sider with the other 20-sider, which has a 65% chance of rerolling to a safe number.
If he focuses with the die showing 10, he winds up in the best position I can see at this point. He gets to take the 17-sider with his 12-sider, which will render his 20-sider showing 5 untouchable on your turn. No matter what you do on your turn, at least two of your dice will be vulnerable if he needs to reroll that 20-sider to protect it.
Ah, but you ignored the possibility of focusing with the value 5 die while turning the value 10 die down a bit to avoid skill attacks.
You're right, focusing to 9 and 1 is a better move. I've even used that sort of strategy in games at times (including one time where I focused to gain initiative, knowing my opponent would win a focus war, simply so I could change the value on the other focus die).
