How can I extend the stems on the beamed eighth notes to avoid colliding with the grace notes?

Special Tools > Beam Angle Tool. The left handle extends the stems; the right handle adjusts the beam angle.

I think if you beam the last 4 eighths together, that will fix the problem. It's probably more correct, as well.

Special Tools>Beam Angle Tool (see screenshot). Drag left handle to stretch all stems; right handle to change beam angle.

N beat me to it…
