It's already been mentioned in the comments that the minimum of the integrand (which is $(1/\mathrm e)^{1/\mathrm e}$, not $\mathrm e^{1/\mathrm e}$) is greater than $\pi/5$. However, proving that $(1/\mathrm e)^{1/\mathrm e}\gt\pi/5$ without a calculator would probably be rather tedious. A bound for which this would be slightly easier can be obtained by using the convexity of the exponential function:
$ \begin{align} \int_0^1x^x\mathrm dx=\int_0^1\exp(x\log x)\,\mathrm dx\ge\exp\left(\int_0^1x\log x\,\mathrm dx\right)=\exp\left(-\frac14\right)\gt\frac\pi5\;.\end{align} $
You still need to evaluate a couple of terms of some series whose error bounds you know in order to prove the last inequality, but it should be a bit easier than for $(1/\mathrm e)^{1/\mathrm e}$.
