Latency's most likely the issue you're getting, or an unreliable internet connection (I'm guessing it's the former). Ethermine seems to be having stale share issues anyways (perhaps their Stratum servers are overloaded?). I'd personally try moving to a different pool temporarily to make sure the issue isn't on your end, though I'm pretty positive the issue lies in Ethermine rather than your connection.

A simple Google search about Ethermine having issues with stale shares shows hundreds of results to me.

Its an ethermine issue always has been. Change pool and you will hardly get any stale shares

Fast upload and download internet connection is the only thing really, you need to understand that stale shares will always exist cause as soon as a block is found network moves to the next block and if you gpu is 0.01ms late then is a stale share, so forget about it cause eth's network is 15 seconds, now if it was like 10 minutes then would be close to zero stale shares. So meaning, you should get 1 stale share per gpu, if you get more than that then it means  internet issues.

5% percent of stale shares is normal for mining, if above change server to closer our region, or change your internet to faster and connect with wire
