No, most games of that era can't use more than 2 TMUs per pixel conveyor. Not sure if Voodoo TMU even capable to do true trilinear filtering at all.

Try FastVoodoo drivers. But looks like one of your cards is just dead.

Typical Samsung UCCC DDR400 can run 2-2-2-5 DDR333 mode on stock voltage just as easily. In fact, even more older Samsung DDR333 256mb sticks were able to do it.

Got some 3Dlabs VP cards (VP560, VP760). Filtering quality is nearly identical to Radeon 256 family, which means it's blocky too.

Geforce 5800ultra (have normal FX5800 and several Quadro versions but a man can dream, right?), That's almost literally impossible territory. There were few of them to begin with and large chunk of ultra cards died before 2010. But lets face it, that is just infamous Nvidia cooler abomination and …

I've also been thinking about getting an AGP/PCI Voodoo 3 later and replacing the primary video card + Voodoo2 combo with the Voodoo 3; would that be worth the investment? Better speed, better picture quality. Might have problems with some Glide DOS games though.

Warm it up and use something like wooden ruler with a flat head screwdriver as a lever.
