As a technical matter, simply reversing the changes that created the modern filibuster would go a long way: do away with tracking and set up the filibuster as a percentage of those present rather than of the entire Senate, facilitating old fashioned attrition fights.
But as long as we're thinking boldly, we would do well to consider carefully not just the filibuster, but the role and value of the Senate as a whole.
