If you have the standard siduction grub2 boot process, you should get a screen that has 2 or more lines when your system first comes up, before the kernel boots. From that screen, select the second line, which should say something about Advanced options. That should give you another boot screen, and the second line there should say Recovery mode. Select that line and boot and you should be in single user mode. press <ENTER> and then key in your root password. You can then do apt update ; apt install nvidia-driver. Then exit or reboot should get you back to your normal starting screen.
From your grub menu, the "Advanced" option should offer an earlier kernel. If the problem is really the 5.5.3 kernel, then it will boot an earlier kernel,
