sudo apt install python3.8-pip gives
unable to locate package python3.8-pip

I think the best practice is to call pip from within the python installation, which forces you to be specific on the version of python in which to install the library, ie. Alternatively, you can change the default python installation so that pip3 will refer to python3.8. For managing python versions you can use update-alternatives:
Another solution would be to install the pip that is in apt. sudo apt install python3-pip. The version of the pip that it installs is for all versions of Python not only for version 3.6 once installed you just need to update the pip with the command python3. 8 -m pip install pip and he will be install the latest version of pip for Python.
Install pip the official way:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py python3.8 get-pip.py made 3.8 my default Python version
It depends on how you did that, but it might break something in your OS. For example some packages on Ubuntu 18.04 might depend on python being python2.7 or python3 being python3.6 with some pip packages preinstalled.
