I don't think its possible to amend the constitution in such a way as to remove the disproportionate representation of low population states.
Personally I would be happy with making house seats exactly proportionate to actual population and adding one senator for every 5 million residents.
So North Dakota with fewer than 800k people gets 2, Washington State with 7.6M gets 3, California with 39M gets 9. This still gives ND 1 senator per 400k while CA has to settle for one per 4M but this is better than one per 20M.
