I've had problems with "E shape" barre chords since developing tendon issues in my fretting hand.

Methods I use are:

wrap my thumb around the neck to press the 6th string, and index finger holds down strings 1 and 2;

wrap thumb around the neck to press the 6th string, mute the 5th with edge of ring finger, ring finger also holds down 4th string, middle finger on 3rd, index on 2nd and edge of that finger mutes the 1st sting; or

just find alternative moveable chord shapes for a more interesting sound entirely.

You could also adapt a lot of acoustic blues to an electric guitar. After all, the strings and fretboard are essentially the same
