Let’s start with dismantling the unconstitutional portion of the feds which is probably about 80% or around $3 trillion worth, and reasserting state constitutional sovereignty.

That takes care of the 800 pound gorilla. The key is, again, the American people and the states taking ownership of their freedom and their Constitution. Once this all happens, and to maintain a limited government, the 17A AND 16A should and could be repealed,

It will be much harder to do with a complicit Senate in place to block any reform. The states must repeal the 17th Amendment via Article V before anything else can happen from within the federal government itself.
