You can also add bands to a benchpress to increase resistance but not buy more plates.
There's also the mental blocker to get over - the thought of not being able to push the bar up can be pretty major and so if you're plateauing around here then that could be a cause. Could someone spot you? I had been stuck at 80kg bench and finally just asked someone to spot me the other day and push out 86kg for 5 reps. shouldve swallowed my pride and done it a couple weeks ago!
