Over Burn It. Only Option.
Nero >> File >> Options >> Expert Features >> Enable Over Burning.

Overburning is possible with DVD+R only...or else go for DUAL/DOUBLE layer dvd, but they are costly.

you can try DVD_shrink provided in this months DIGIT.. and you can also use magic ISO to try and reduce the filesystem size to burn about 4800MB on a disk , but it is dangerous.. i will recommend you to buy a DVD-9 for Rs. 100 (moserbaer) it would be better.
