List index out of range - but it isnt

Getting a list index out of range error for 'level = line[3].rstrip()'. Have double-checked everything, I print the list right before and over 4 values (of which I am trying to get the fourth) are shown. Code & traceback below, thanks!

Code:

async def lbcmd(ctx):
    el = []
    for file in os.scandir(lpath):
        if file.path.endswith(".txt"):
            with open(file, 'r') as f:
                line = f.readlines()
                level = line[3].rstrip()
                xp = line[0].rstrip()
                exp = {
                    "user": file.name.strip(".txt"),
                    "exp": xp,
                    "level": level
                    }
                el.append(exp)
    el.sort(reverse=True, key=operator.itemgetter('exp'))
    desc = ("""
""")
    for exp in el:
         desc = desc + f"""Level {exp['level']} at {exp['exp']} exp - <@{exp['user']}>
"""
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Level leaderboard", description=desc, color=0x2f3136)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Traceback:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
