Using a classical linear stabilizer circuit won't help you. The 7805 voltage regulator dissipates a lot heat. Try to use a DC-DC step-down convertor instead.
See for example LM2575, LM2576, LM2596, LM2678, LM2679.

But what about efficiency of the circuit?
If You need 5V at 0.3A this is 1.5W and the circuit need to dissipate the extra 19V at 0.3A , for a total of 5.7W. :roll:
Lot of heat to produce = big heat sinking is required.
It’s so simple to use a step down converter. See as example in the link attached…
