Are you struggling in your last 1-2 reps? If not, that might be your problem.

Does anyone else do 3x8 or is it just me?

I do bench machine instead for a couple times

Switch to DB for a few weeks. If you're stalling on something hard, switch shit up.

Yeah, I've been on a 5x5 strength program since the end of February, and though I've increased squats and deadlifts by about 10-15lbs each since then, I've barely made a dent on my bench limit. It's like my chest and arms just gives up after the 3rd set.

If you are not a beginner you need to do way more reps than 5x5, even if it is with accessory lifts

It's because you don't do it enough on 5x5. You only get to do it 3 times every 2 weeks.

What's a better beginner program that has more bench volume?

increase volume and frequency. for bench, volume (tonnage more than NOL) is the meaning of life. 5x5 3 times every 14 days is not nearly enough.
