It says to switch to 3x5 after deloading and failing a couple of times for the other lifts but what about the deadlift since it's just 1x5?
Recently failed at 140kg deadlift ☹️

What to do when you fail deadlifts in stronglifts 5x5?

Same thing you do with the other lifts; just reset by a few weeks and start over again. So, knock 20lbs off of the bar (even for your ramp-up sets) and start working your way back up. DO NOT INCREASE THE VOLUME: that rarely works (especially with deads). If you stall again, then it's time to take a look at other facets of your training and diet to see if there's issues there.
