While I agree not to rush, there are things you can do to try to go faster. While it normally isn't great to just power through the story, I can see several reasons to do so. In my case, I did because I started just prior to the Ibaraki Douji event and had to clear through EPU to participate. I cleared it with a level 50 D'eon and some level 40s the first time around. The trick to powering through the story when you really lack the muscle to is to lean on supports, know them well, and how best to support them. In most cases (and this will work through EPU) is the taunt and kill method. Basically, set up a bunch of servants who are going to soak up hits to help you support live long enough to clear out all the enemies. Level Mashu. She's worth it. Skill her up. Also worth it. Look through the wiki at the servants and specifically look at which level 1-3 servants serve people especially well. These are easier to acquire, cheaper to ascend, cheaper to skill up, and cheaper to field. Some that come to mind especially are these.

Fate Stay Nght Cu. Level his skills and he out-tanks 5 star servants.

Euryale. The very wide niche called male slaying. She's a godsend in Camelot.

Hans Christian Andersen. Support caster says hi. He helps you keep going like the energizer bunny once you throw him with an arts team.

Saing George. He's cheap. He's tanky. He drags all the attention to himself for a while. He's good.

In my biased opinon, these are generally the first ones you should be looking at or at least among the first. Don't worry about what gold stuff you're missing either. It really isn't important. They'll come when they come and you don't NEED a gold servant of every class right away (or at all for the main story for that matter). It is more a convenience. Instead, what you want are good servants (not always gold) and a synergistic team. For example, an arts team that keeps you alive and spams NPs could be made centering around Hans and Medea Lily. Then you use your support to do the killing. The synergy of getting your chains is going to be better than trying to stick all your gold servants into one party. Slow down. Do your research and decide what you want to build. Look at the accessibility of their ascension materials. Then use your resources once you've decided.
