Literally the only way ;)

Though in all seriousness, try not to think of it in terms of luck, but rather as variance. The decision is what matters, and yes sometimes it does not work out, but that's okay. If you start to play in a way that reduces variance you're leaving too much money on the table.

Some of comments in this thread suggest not calling all ins except with monster hands for example. Variance in MTTs is brutal, but if you're not willing to go for plays that are clearly +EV (considering ICM ofcourse) you'll never become a player who crushes the stakes they're playing in. You shouldn't be looking to reduce variance in your play. Rather, you should be asking yourself if you are properly rolled for the stakes you play if you care about this. Passing up a clear +$EV play because an opponent may get lucky doesn't make you smart, it makes you a nit tbh.

Rather, I'd advise to play around with some tournament variance calculators to get a good grasp of how big the swings can be and adjust your bankroll management plan accordingly. You won't be afraid of swings if you got a proper roll to back up your plays. Go get them mate :D
