Remember, a rare 4* is much better than a common 5*. If you're having trouble, try leveling your uncommon 4* you got from premium summons into rares. You get plenty of free Premium tickets anyway. Personally, I've never gotten anything better than an uncommon 4* as well, so we're all in the same boat here :]

As for excess cards, sell 1/2 stars for silvers. Turn 3 stars into Evo Points, or use them as fusion material on Sundays. Turn common four stars into Evo points or use them as fusion material or keep them - they'll be useful in later events (apparently). Turn uncommon four stars into Rare Four Stars, and use them.

For special cards, use them as directed, except Special Skill cards. At this early in the game, you won't need to bother with them, so use them as fusion material.

Having a full party of rare four stars should be more than enough to clear 42+ areas so you can obtain 5* Uniques.
