You want the guitarist to tune their top E string up by *eight
semitones*???
I'm not a guitarist, but my strong suspicion is there's no way to do
that without serious risk of breaking the string.
It sounds like this part is not playable on a guitar without an
extended fretboard.

Hi all-
A guitar part I'm working on has notes outside (above) the range of a
standard six-string instrument with normal tuning. The highest note
is eight
frets above playable (assuming a standard 20-fret instrument).
Is the most common solution a retuning of the strings (when an
instrument
without the needed extension isn't available)?
If so, is there a secondary tuning that is more common than another
for such
situations,
or do I just retune as many frets upward as necessary for that one
string
and know the average guitarist can handle it?
