In my opinion, one is as good as the other. Prior context might favor the countable usage, if for instance other capacities are mentioned.

Hi guys,

I agree that both can be said. However, I don't find either very natural.

I suggest 'He has a maximum of $5,000 available via/on his line of credit'.

I agree.

I'd probably just say "He has $5,000 available on his credit line."
(You might say "maximum" and "available" set up a redundancy.)
