Technically, 5NT isn't just a king ask, it's signifying that we hold all 5 keycards, incase partner has an odd hand and wants to punt 7 based on a source of tricks...like change the hands to

So with the new version where you've shown the Q of spades and the other 2 A, it should easily bid a grand. Count the tricks, 7 spades, 2 of each other suit, which makes 13. And it shouldn't need to worry about an entry to dummy when it has the club. So it makes 7NT always with what you've shown so far.
