If black plays 6. ... Kh7 then white is stalemated. If the bishops on d8 and f8 are queens then white loses! Blacks threat is 7. ... Rxd8+ 8. Kxd8 Qb8# and there is not much white can do about that.

Nice Study but why not Rxd7 and play on? I t still looks good for black.

It's tablebase stuff. the only way forward for black is to allow the exchange of his knight for a bishop. After that the position is a theoretical draw (even without pawn h5).
Ok I don t have any table bases with 8 or 9 man. But I would play it on for some time. I would not allow the exchange from the knight to a bishop. But instead try first with Rook and Bishop moves to get my King maybe to g6 after capture the pawn on h5 with the Bishop.
