At least without a rewrite like 4E. Do that it's a different game.
I think you could tweak the game a bit to help. A combination of buffs, nerfs and changing the game dynamics. Eg monsters can be resistant or mmune to non magical attacks and AC scales better than saves. There's not much in the way of actual magic resistance or immunity. Advantage on saves is a said joke outside things like dragons and higher cr critters.
OSR games get a few things right.
Saves that scale (all of them)
Magic/spell resistance. Your spells can just fail.
Classes advance at different rates. I would suggest this ratio drop a 0 if required.
Fighter 1500 xp
Rogue 1250 xp
Cleric 2000
Wizard 2500
Find a tier list and map the top 3 classes to the wizards xp, next 3 get fighter xp while rogues, artificers and monks level up faster.
Cleric and wizard could maybe switch places. May as well go back to different xp rates everything else dince has been worse along with level dipping etc.
I don't have much faith One D&D is going to fix much just pay for errata and nerf the worst offenders.
