Technically you need 51 or 50 + VP tiebreaker unless a Republican filibusters then you need 60.
You can change senate rules if you have a comfortable majority but I’m pretty sure they can filibuster that, too, and it might backfire like removing the filibuster for SCOTUS and cabinet picks has.

You can’t filibuster a rule change.
Its literally been done before.
First, filibuster was removed for normal court appointments during Obama Admin
Then filibuster was removed for supreme court appointments during the first trump admin.
Neither could be filibustered (otherwise the rules wouldn’t been changed, and we don’t have 3 trump appointees in SCOTUS)
