Some things my characters do...
If they have "guidance" as a cantrip, they use it.
"Eagle's Splendor" will give you a temporary +4 cha boost, which is a +2 to your UMD.
Some GMs allow "masterwork UMD" tools, which is sometimes fluffed as a "list of common activation keywords" or stuff like that.
There are some class abilities that give temporary skill boosts, and there are spells which do the same. So long as they stack, they can be used together.
If you are trying to permanently boost a skill, you can pump more than one skill rank into that skill when you level up, so long as the total ranks are not higher than your overall character level.
While "skill focus" will give you a +3 on any given skill, if you take "additional traits" and pick traits which turn non-class skills into class skills, you can turn a single rank in the new skills into an effective +5 into each.
Any magic items which boost charisma will also help.
And finally, if your GM allows it, you might be able to get a party member to aid you.

I'm playing a 9th level Sorcerer [old], I have 26 Charisma and have maxed out UMD.
I want/need to cast some high level Divine spells via UMD and need more!
I have a +2 headband [all 3 stats] but not enough cash to get a +4 unless I sell and change to a Cha only one which I don't really want to do.
Feats are already tight and it would really hurt having to take Skill Focus!
