Maybe try dimmable LED bulbs? They work perfectly fine here.

I find LEDs look much better, particularly if you have chandelier type lights.

Dimmable led bulbs come in multiple varients and don't work with all style of dimmers. Quality matters too.

The best bet is switching to Hue or other smart bulbs that manage their own dimming. It's generally cheaper too unless you have a dozen bulbs on one dimmer.
