n / 5 * 100 = n * 20 and \d is shorter than [0-9]:

function(a){return((a.length>=8)+/[A-Z]/.test(a)+/[a-z]/.test(a)+/\d/.test(a)+/[^\w\s]|_/.test(a))*20}

Even shorter if you use replace inside eval (ugly, but very short):

function(a){return 20*eval("/.{8}1/[A-Z]1/[a-z]1/\\d1/[^\\w\\s]|_10".replace(/1/g,'/.test(a)+'))}

Good point! I merged your 1st suggest. And ignored the 2nd one, eval === evil and looks too ugly to me... ;)

That was just to show how short it could be done. I wouldn't do something like that in real life.
