Can we prove that every neighborhood of the $0$ companion matrix that contains a Hurwitz matrix?

Let $mathcal C subset M_n(mathbb R)$ be the set of companion matrices which we can identify by $mathbb R^n$. Let us denote the set of companion matrices with eigenvalues lying on the open left half plane by $mathcal H$, i.e.,
begin{align*}
mathcal H = {A in M_n(mathbb R): A text{ is in companion form and } max_i text{Re}(lambda_i(A)) < 0}.
end{align*}

Let $A$ be
begin{align*}
A=begin{pmatrix} 0 & cdots & 0& 0 \ 1 & cdots & 0 & 0\ vdots &ddots & vdots &vdots \ 0 &cdots & 1 & 0 end{pmatrix}
end{align*}

Is it true that for every neighborhood $B_{varepsilon}$ of $A$ in $mathcal C$ we have $B_{varepsilon} cap mathcal H neq emptyset$? In other words, $A in partial mathcal H$.



The statement is obviously true for $n=1, 2, 3, 4$. This is due to Routh-Hurwitz condition. We only need to choose appropriate coefficients. But as the dimension goes up, this condition becomes unmanageable. In some sense, I feel the general case should also be true but could not prove it.
