I have to stagger an enemy for a challenge but my characters kill it too fast

Is it impossible to get this intel?

Are you playing on Easy?

No.

I just out-leveled it.

Have you tried playing on hard mode?

If you are in your first playthrough and can't access hard mode, there is an advanced mode where, in addition to gaining some extra mechanics, all enemies will be at your level.

(For a first playthrough, it's also convenient to play on advanced mode since you can level up characters, materia, etc. without grinding).

Set the difficulty to Dynamic then, so that the enemy level is scaled up to yours.

use stagger focused skills , read the analize materia condition for the mob and use hard mode

Also, you can try using a less powerful weapon. Use Barret and his bonus round, that will fill the stagger meter fast. Also, equip the Enfeeblement Ring on the third party member so they turn into a frog, to get the out of the fight. That should help you do less damage. That's how I completed that guy who wants to be a warrior quest and I didn't even have to change the difficulty level. It'd taken me a couple of tries, though.

Change the difficulty to Dynamic. Everything will adjust to be a challenge relative to your level, you can then change your difficulty back to where it was after you do the challenge. I had this same issue in the Grasslands
