What is the minimum preflop range I have to play to have on every 5 Card board the nuts in my range?
E.g. On a: A♠4♠5♠K♣Q♠ Board I would need 2♠3♠ But I guess there is no board where you need any 27o to represent the nuts.

22+, 32s+, 42s+, 52s+, ATs (pocket pairs; suited 0, 1, and 2 gappers; ATs)
22+
covers all nut 4-board-card straight flushes, and the combination of {32s+, 42s+, 52s+, ATs}
(ATs is a special case for KQJ) covers all 3-board-card straight flushes. Since it includes one of every rank, it covers quads with 3-of-a-kind on board. Since it includes all of the suited broadway hands, it covers all nut flushes when there are no straight flush possibilities.
You'll need 22+
to cover quads when the board is paired, that also covers all full houses.
Since straight flushes are covered, straights are as well.
Any time a straight flush, quads, a flush, or a straight is not possible, the nuts is a set, and your pocket pairs have that.
This range covers 16.1% of starting hands.
I'm pretty sure that based on your nuts definition you have preflop range of 100% because on preflop you can't imagine what is nuts and what not and on preflop you dont see any common cards then you must call every hand to look on board and do some calculations.
This is based on that you must have nuts in range then 72o is nuts possibility too. For example in board 7♠ 7♥ 7♣ 2⋄2♠.
