I will answer that. YES, if the bastages can reach the ones I had that were built out of 85gal barrels I can promise you they can reach the 55gal barrels. Unless you install the Eliminator or SpinTech type spinner plates, the only way to keep them from reaching the spinner is to build the varmint cage with the smaller holes. Like 1”x2” max. You have to keep them from being able to get their shoulders inside the cage.
Schleicher County has Boone and Crockett size coons. Here is my 85gal barrels prior to adding the SpinTech spinner plates.

Yes, hogs haven’t destroyed anything, but yes, the coons will reach in there and spin the plate. The Eliminator plate would probably take care of that problem, but I just have the regular spinner plate with the flaps.
