COMMENTS
It is well known that for any prime p the number of distinct primitive roots modulo p among 1,...,p-1 is phi(p-1).
Conjecture: The sequence contains infinitely many terms. Moreover, the number of primes p <= x with phi(p-1) a primitive root modulo p is asymptotically equivalent to c*x/(log x) as x tends to the infinity, where c is a constant with 0.36 < c < 0.37.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 5 since phi(5-1) = 2 is a primitive root modulo the prime 5.
