XY-Wing 57 78 58 pivoted in r3c8 solves it by setting r7c2<>5.

I'm going back through the archive now to try to solve the VH ones. How did you eliminate the candidate 5 from r3c8? I had the candidates 578 instead of just 78 in r3c8 so I missed the XY wing. Thanks.

I don't know if I'm done with basics yet. But look at row 2. The 5s are restricted to row 2 in box 3, thus no other rows in that box can contain 5.

Oh! How obvious! How did I miss that? I actually still had a 5 in r1c1 and r2c1 even though I knew that r4c1 or r5c1 had to be a 5. Thanks!

That situation in row 2 is called either Locked Candidates or Box-Line Interactions and are extremely easy to miss. Many people miss them, including myself.
