Why would you want to do that? I think that it might do some damage to either the strings or the guitar, if all 6 were an octave up...

But, then again, I think Nashville tuning uses 3 thin strings that are an octave up.

Instead of tuning from the 5th fret, tune using the 17th. Try that. Let us know what happens.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
