pentax K5 sharper with live view?

Live view uses contrast AF which measures the sharpness of the image as seen by the sensor and hunts around to find the best solution.   In bright light, it can provide a more accurate focus solution.

IMO, having to do manual micro-focus adjustment should be unnecessary.   There should be an automatic adjustment that uses contrast and phase focus sequentially and adjusts automatically.   Its something that the camera could do in about a second or two.   And its largely something that could be done in code.
