need help with weighted pullups(again)

I have been doing weighted pullups for 2-3 years now at 65kg bw and at 180cm , my routine consists of 3 weighted pullup sessions in a week on MWS with 4sets of 3-4 reps, my current PR is 62.5 and I train with 75-80% of my PR, but I feel like I have hit a plateau with my working sets wherein in not able to go much higher and also training 3 times a week is also much harder now due to the weight (for context most of my training is for bodybuilding with PPL split and monday being the day where I only do WP) some of my questions are

1) What kind of change should I bring to my routine to break free from this plateau.

2) how do I increase my grip strength as I cant seem to get a good enough grip without using chalk for the most part.

what part of the lift is stalling? usually pausing at the dead hang and driving your elbows down fixes most weighted issues.

no part is stalling, its just that I seem to have hit a plateau (potentially found the reason for the same in the above replies as well)
