Confidently sitting but still despises tummy time

My 5 month old has been sitting up for a while, quite confident with it so I know he has upper body strength. But he still screams after less than a minute on his tummy, and can't roll. How will he ever learn to crawl and move around?

My daughter is 9months and has only in the last month enjoyed being on her tummy. I wouldn’t worry. She doesn’t crawl as such but she moves around like a clock and almost shuffles.

Mine didn't roll till after he could crawl! And took his time with both, as he basically spent all his time sleeping so didn't get much practice.

Mine is 7 months and only just become happy on his tummy and rolling with ease. Sits unaided sometimes but have to be on hand to catch when there's a wobble. Certainly wouldn't say sits with confidence. Babies are like popcorn kernels, they pop when they're ready. They're all so different I wouldn't worry!

He might be a bum shuffler to get around.
They figure out a way to move when they want to.
