How best to hide ethnic surname

I know getting rejected with a great career and experience (I have 10 years of experience at huge renowned companies in a very solid field that isn't too badly impacted by AI, at the level I am currently at) isn't unique to me with the current state of the job market.

But after a month of applying early to jobs I am clearly qualified by, sometimes being the 1st applicant on LinkedIn, I'm sometimes getting rejection emails within the same day....

Either I'm not passing ATS or something is wrong with my CV, which I don't believe is the case as I have had it professionally written before and in the past it has landed me big interviews, pre the current job market. I have done the usual, getting AI to tailor my CV to each job, but I'm still getting rejected for jobs I apply really early to and very qualified for.

Before people rush in here telling me they have experienced the same for months and it's not to do with my surname, that is fine but I would like to minimise any % of disadvantage I am at.

Can someone please advise me how best to go about hiding my ethnic surname in applications, when most jobs now also ask for a link to your LinkedIn?

Should I Anglo my surname on my CV, create a new email address that matches it for applications and hide my surname on Linkedin/change the URL also?

Is this something that would look odd to recruiters having a LinkedIn that is Timothy B for example.
