fill a bag of holding with as many coins as you can, each side of each coin inscribed with a glyph of warding containing the spell symbol, with the damage version, that activates when the bag is thrown at the tarrasque.
If it required any less prep and money, it would win. It’s still good, but isn’t the mist efficient way to do things.
Wish* for a bag of holding with as many coins as you can, each side of each coin inscribed with a glyph of warding containing the spell symbol, with the damage version, that activates when the bag is thrown at the tarrasque.
That is pretty advanced for a wish no dm would let through. There are other ways to achieve what you are looking for though…
conjure pixies, as a druid, to turn your party into Hydras. then have them bite eachother's heads off until you can attack a few dozen times a turn.

I don’t think regular polymorph can turn players into monstrosities.
Even if it could, polukranos from mythic odysseys of theros is similar but way better. Use acidic blood to get around immunity to magic weapons and repeatedly attack each other to hit with acid blood and hopefully kill it before running out of acid blood.
The other way to get 500 glyphs of warding is by exploiting simulacrum and wish.

Have a mind flayer larva crawl into its ear-hole (which I imagine wouldn't be too difficult), and wait a while. Granted, it's not an instakill, but it still kills the Tarrasque regardless of HP.
I don’t think it’s that easy.
I have a better, and arguably easier idea: True Polymorph a giant boulder into a pebble, have someone else get the Tarrasque to swallow it by some means, and drop the spell while the boulder is in the Tarrasque's throat. The beast's windpipe is now closed and you can sit back for about 10 minutes while it dies from lack of oxygen.

Maybe you don't need to. Shadows instantly kill their target if they reduce its Strength Score to 0, so just get some Shadows mad at it, give them Sanctuary so the Tarrasque struggles to hit them, and kick back as they sap the poor creature of its strength.

true polymorph into a Shadow dragon, get an Army of shadows, have your friends paralyze the tarrasque and cast spirit guardians.

This is brilliant. Though 30 strength will take a long time for shadows to remove
If you have around 12 shadows and some good RNG, it should only take eight, maybe nine rounds. Not Instant-kill, but still pretty close for not using Wish.

It will still take a long time, during which the tarrasque is still a problem, but man it’s amazing. I don’t think it can count as an instakill, but I just wanted to say you have won my respect.

Tell me: how many shadows would you need to instakill the aspect of Tiamat?
Well, the maximum Strength score a creature can have (to my knowledge) is 30, so I'd assume the same amount of Shadows should be able to do the job just fine. That is, if the Aspect of Tiamat doesn't have some immunity to Strength reductions or a Strength score that is somehow higher than 30.

Tiamat's strength score is 30, so if all 35 shadow's attacks hit, you can kill her in a round.
