Let's say for example I'm watching a movie and come across a word that, even after 3-5 rewinds, I cannot understand. I try a few more times in slow motion, and still nothing.

What should I do in this situation? What do you do?

"Should" implies that there is a right way to act, which is silly. You should do what you want to do.

Personally, I never rewind anything 3-5 times when I watch. That's just too boring for me. I do sometimes put on L2 subtitles when I am having trouble understanding and sometimes even pause the movie so I can read them, but mostly I just let things slide. As others have said you'll undoubtedly hear the the word again.
