The difficulty cap is not necessarily at 80 - in summer event for example, the cap was at around 60. I'd say just focus on playing normally and grinding your fleet, it is quite probable that you are already past the level cap. Besides, no matter what level your HQ is, it is always most important to have a large, high level fleet available for events. This wouldn't have necessarily been the case in past without the ship lock mechanism, but now there is one so you'll need a large fleet available to progress far in the event. (Although I suppose a ship lock hasn't been confirmed yet, but it is safe to assume there will be one.)
