I’m looking to refinance for debt consolidation. Is it better to refi my first mortgage which is at 5.625% or obtain a second mortgage?

I own my home, but do not have enough equity built to refinance and get $50K to pay off credit card debt-what are my options? Someone told me a second mortgage may work, but I have only owned my home for 14 months. Balance on my current mortgage is $77K, home value is max $90K.
I checked out the loan and the interest is not too bad giving that this is a second mortgage that gives money for repairs and pay offs. The only thing I see is that it eats up all the equity and we will need to live in our home for at least 15 years before trying to sell…so that alone is the biggest decision. I am just wondering if there is anything else I should be looking for???
Thank you for the advice. The rate is 9.5% Fixed for 15 or 20 years. There is no pre payment penalty.
