The right way seems to burn them through high reps. I hope to a change by Spring time.

Just like any muscle, add enough useful stimulas at the right volume and it's takes no longer than any other muscle.
Try myo reps if you want more of a burn out style or consider more deadlifting.3 -

Is there a question here or is this just another opportunity for a selfie?
Your 2000 calorie a day rule might be holding your trap development back a bit, imo. I’m not even sure that’s enough for a recomp unless you are very small. The selfies don’t provide much perspective. What are your stats?12 -
Olympic lifters have respectable traps from the lifts they perform. Ditto for the deadlift suggestion.
In my experience, heavy loads will give you a bigger bang for your training buck than mindless reps with a lower weight.
Your mileage may vary.1 -
My traps look like a baby cobra and I don't do anything to train them specifically.3

Olympic lifting works well for me.2

Having a car drive into my knee and spending 3 months on crutches worked wonders for me - I got nicknamed "Coke Bottle Shoulders" when I eventually returned to work.
Cost me a fortune in new shirts.

Try some farmer carries with 50% or more of bodyweight in each hand. Walk as far as you can, rest and repeat several times as a finisher.
