I've been doing the stripped 5x5 routine for 3 weeks now

don't get impatient. these novice routines based on linear progression are very easy in the beginning and very hard towards towards the end. the good thing about being a novice is that even those light workouts in the beginning are more than enough to drive adaptation. eventually you'll have to do cycles that are hard as balls and take a week or more just to increase the weight a little bit.

Keep going. You're doing really well. It'll get hard fast

Thanks mates! I'll be rolling with this for a while now then.

I was thinking about adding bicep curls to either workout, because my hands seem to be the weakest part right now. I am having a hard time getting bent over rows to really hit my back since my hands get tired fast. Am I doing it with a wrong form or is that how it normally is?

Not bait, seriously. Though I started with kind of small weights to get my forms right before hitting bigger weights, which skews the progress a bit.
