The final word from Apple on Managing the " Other " Category
Other: Contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here. This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.
There is no "work around".You need to move and/or delete files, movies, videos, whatever to create space and maintain an absolute minimum of 15 - 20 GB of available space at all times for the OS to function properly.
No. You need to make more space by moving some files to another drive
