I ran into this same issue. I was able to use yum to download the RPM, then force install the rpm.
$ sudo yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/var/tmp/ libstdc++.i686
$ sudo rpm -ivh --force --nodeps /var/tmp/libstdc++-<VERSION>.i686.rpm
yum
--downloadonly - only download the package into an RPM
--downloaddir - download an RPM to the specified dir
rpm
--ivh - install/verbose log/print hashes for progress
--force - ignore existing installs, this is what ignores the above error
--nodeps - ignore dependencies

It says you i686 package not match with you x86_64 package(must with same version number), update the x86_64 package first, then try again:
yum update -y libstdc++.x86_64
yum install libstdc++.i686

I found a solution here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/lib-libstdc-so-6-version-%60glibcxx_3-4-15'-not-found-4175419985/
Replacing libstdc++-so.6 with a later version that works in EL6: Unpack libstdc++6_4.7.1-2_i386.deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool...7.1-2_i386.deb with : ar -x libstdc++6_4.7.1-2_i386.deb && tar xvf data.tar.gz Next : 1) su ; 2) cp libstdc++.so.6.0.17 /usr/lib/ 3) cd /usr/lib/ && rm libstdc++.so.6 4) ln -s libstdc++.so.6.17 libstdc++.so.6
Reason for suggesting the Debian package : It's a ( gcc ) libstdc++ version that's compiled with a glibc old enough to be used in EL6 / CentOS 6.

Updated steps (because it seems the file has been moved):
curl -O http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.7/libstdc++6-4.7-dbg_4.7.2-5_i386.deb
tar -x libstdc++6-4.7-dbg_4.7.2-5_i386.deb && tar xvf data.tar.gz
mkdir backup
cp /usr/lib/libstdc++.so* backup/
cp ./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/debug/libstdc++.so.6.0.17 /usr/lib

It seems that you are running Centos 7. When issuing the command strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX in Centos 7, it shows the following output:
GLIBCXX_3.4
_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_3.4.17
GLIBCXX_3.4.18
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH
This means that right now Centos doesn't support the version of glibc (, i.e., GLIBCXX_3.4.20) that is required by the latest version of Skype (v8.9).
If wish to install Skype in Centos at the moment, you can have a look at the nux repo which hosts a precompiled version of skype (probably an older version). Or you could always build the latest glibc from source and then try to install Skype.

You can extract the content of package, for example rpm:
$ rpm2cpio skypeforlinux-64.rpm | cpio -id
and then run it (from location that you have extracted it):
$ usr/share/skypeforlinux/skypeforlinux
Info about glibc 3.4.20:
It looks that the only file that wants it is cld.node (usr/share/skypeforlinux/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/@paulcbetts/cld/build/Release/cld.node)
