By everyone I mean most. This has gotten me into trouble several times now... I've outshined my boss or unintentionally made them feel or look stupid. The only alternative I could think of in both cases was to do poorer quality work and pretend to be dumber, both things I have trouble making myself do...
How do you navigate the working world if you're more competent than the people you work with and work for? Seems like people often turn on you if you're a standout.
Find somewhere to work where your boss is smarter than you and/or values having distinguished subordinates.
With frequent reference to the Dunning-Kruger effect.
There is no way to do that when you're working for somebody else.
Being your own boss and working for yourself is much better.
If you were really smarter and harder working than everyone else, you would not be working for someone else nor would you be asking let's run for advice.
Youbarent that smart. Stop stepping on peoples' toes.
Maybe you should branch out from lawn care.

Humility is a good first step.
You're so smart you should know.

How would you suggest I articulate this problem in a way that is significantly more humble?

Realize there is a difference between being smart and hard working and being good at your job. Making your boss look bad makes you look bad - a smart guy would figure out ways to avoid that without doing poor quality work.
