I think 5.5mm tech cord would be strong enough at that size, but I don't prefer it for prusicks since it is slick. 2mm smaller than the rope your going to use it on is sufficient friction for a prusick. I don't think that any regular cord smaller than 6mm would be safe for all manners you might use a prusick on.
YMMV
