I have been hosting game nights at my home for many years, and I include many different friends. Generally, I know what people like and I try to bring different people together who will enjoy the same kind of games: heavy, light, dexterity, etc. I enjoy just about everything, so I'm happy to play whatever hits the table.
One player, a good friend, struggles with practically every game we play, and it's gotten worse over time. This player has attended for a long time, but I can see that others are frustrated. We all mess up sometimes, causing a game to not be as good or even fail, but it happens too often.
This person is my friend. I like them quite a bit and don't want to create ill will or stop gaming with them completely. We do, on occasion, hang out and sometimes play a light game here or there.
What should I do? Is it best to be honest and stop inviting them to game night or keep inviting them and communicate with other players to be sure they are okay with it? Or is there a better option?

I would advise that you communicate with the other players individually before uninviting your friend. Even though they appear to be frustrated, your friends may not feel it makes that much difference. Be sure to state that you want to know how they feel and that their answers will be kept private.
If indeed they find the situation frustrating, then talk with your friend who is struggling and suggest that they take a break from the group while offering to play with them one-on-one and do other activities together as well as time permits. This way you communicate that it's not your friend per se but the activity that's the issue, and I think that's really important if you want to keep the friendship.
Best,
