The first point really helped me when I had a crappy boss who didn't like me but still liked to take my credit. I essentially jumped over my boss to make sure the executives, including the CEO, could see the work I was doing. Sending them reports directly from my email was the way to do it. My boss just got in the way. It really helped. Eventually, I even developed a relationship with the CEO. When I decided to leave the company, the CEO had a meeting with me and begged me to stay because he read all my email reports. This was a 3,000 something people tech company.
I know I also gave the advice to make your boss look good, which is plan A. If plan A doesn't work because your boss doesn't advocate for you in return, then you need to leap over your boss. Develop a relationship with your boss' boss so that you could ask to either get promoted to a position equal to your boss, take your boss' position, or transfer to a different boss.
