Simple answer: yes, spam floor 1-5.
Long answer: Do shout runs of 96-100 requesting sponsor, but state freelot of any gear (you not lotting anything). Ask those that respond if they will sponsor the disc. The deal is you're setting up the run and not lotting, someone else does the sponsor and spends tokens in exchange for the "free ride" and lotting privs. It's a reasonable trade (-400 tokens for them, which they probably don't care about).
If you have a friend that has some tokens built up, they can boost you through. They "only" need to spend 44k tokens to earn you your 150k with this method. Even less painful if you can spread that among a static group that's willing to spam for you in exchange for them getting more lot chances.
Edit: Also, try to avoid spending tokens on gear at the start - you won't have this option, but I always go on whm and the items are fairly useless for me, so I "save" a lot that way. If you go on thf you can probably avoid buying stuff, since you're mostly there for the TH.
