It's hard to tell for sure, but from the pictures it looks as though the driveway is only half the problem. It appears that the street slopes down from the center of the road up to the edge of the driveway (probably for drainage) which slopes back up. This ends up creating a 'v' that that is probably a good 15' or more from the two points of level height on either side. This gap would need to be traversed to get the MH up the drive. I don't see any way that re-leveling the driveway would fix that issue sufficiently.
If it were me, I would mock-up my approach with some 2x4's. Make a 2x4 rail that is the same length as your rig (bumber to bumper). Then, place two 'legs' on the rail at the location of the tires. Those legs should be long enough that the bottom of your 2x4 rail sits at the same height as your rig. You now have a model of your ground clearance that you can use to try to evaluate options.
From the pics, it looks like somehow bridging that 'v' from somewhere near the peak of the road to a point somewhere up your drive is the only way to go. While any type of support structure would have to be substantial (and well supported), the mock-up I am suggesting would help you get a sense of whether or not it is even feasible and, if so, a sense of what you would need to do.
You nailed it. The heavy crown on the street I believe is my biggest issue. The hitch dug into the crown. Front tires were about halfway up the driveway and the rears were just at the bottom of the driveway at the lowest point when it dug in and just stopped. That black mark you can see is some of the rubber I burned off spinning the tires. At this point I’m thinking a combination of the ideas mentioned here should work. Luckily my street is pretty dead usually as it’s not a thru street and only traveled by people that live here. I’m thinking if I can get it lined up straight across the street, build me some ramps to bridge that gap between the crown of the street and the driveway then I can just drive it on up.
