CHIRP does a full memory dump for the UV-5R style radios. The various firmware versions have different memory layouts. Overwriting the memory layout of the radio with the memory layout of another would not be a good thing so CHIRP blocks it.
It doesn't work because you must not be doing it correctly. If you can download from the radio and then immediately upload back to the radio without issues, it will work. I use my UV-5R image to program all of my other various radios so I do it all the time.
Here is a guide: https://baofengtech.com/CHIRPImport
A quick and dirty way is to just download from the radio creating a tab compatible with the radio. Then load the source image into a second tab. Then copy and past the channels from the source tab to the destination tab.
