If I were to cast Ensoul Artifact on a card such as Hero's Blade, which has an equip ability, could I pay it's equip cost to equip it to itself after it's become a 5/5 creature?

No. Equipment that is also a creature cannot equip anything, let alone itself.

Quote from Magic Comprehensive Rules »
301.5c An Equipment that’s also a creature can’t equip a creature. An Equipment that loses the subtype “Equipment” can’t equip a creature. An Equipment can’t equip itself. An Equipment that equips an illegal or nonexistent permanent becomes unattached from that permanent but remains on the battlefield. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.) An Equipment can’t equip more than one creature. If a spell or ability would cause an Equipment to equip more than one creature, the Equipment’s controller chooses which creature it equips.
