I had the same issue with my IIPA, and my solution to get it further down was to raise the temp up to about 72F. After one hour at this temp I had airlock activity, and after one week my gravity had dropped from 1.021-22 -> 1.018. I also pitched a package of Nottingham dry yeast, which contributed as well.

My IPA ended at 1.020 and it was awesome. I had about the same OG as yours as well.

That said, 008 makes a killer light, drinkable ale. I made a blonde ale with it...it's flocculation sucks, and it takes forever to drop out in the primary or secondary, but after it does, your beer will be as clear as a filtered lager.

Yeah, I've used WLP008 for the same reason and to the same effect before. Made a nice East Coast Honey Ale with it, and it was the clearest beer I've ever made, and the most easy-drinking beer I've brewed. It's a good yeast, and I've found that it produces minimal weird flavors when you brew at higher temps (I use it a lot in summer).
