The universe is asking for a better focusser, or for you to learn to make the most of what you have. That should be a good enough scope and easy to work up to 100x (and capable of up to 200x with care).
Play with and learn during the day how the focusser works and how to tell when it reached the ends of its travel. If you cannot reach focus within its designed range of travel then you may need an extension tube (or just pull the EP out of the focuser a little bit before locking it in place). But the included eyepieces should work fine.
You also need to learn how to collimate the scope to make the most of it. With a 130mm you should be able to see considerable detail on Jupiter: at the very least several cloud belts, great red spot (when facing us). Note however that all the detail is in pretty subtle variations shades of colour/brightness that at first takes some practice to pick up. But first thing is to get a well-defined sharp disk of the planet as well as its moons.
