For the past couple of months, I've been receiving unwanted calls, where the number keeps changing and blocking them is becoming difficult. I wanted to change my landline number so I stop receiving them.
It is only worth changing your number if you think you are being specifically targeted and/or want to break contact with someone known to you.
If you are receiving threatening or malicious calls targeted at you personally, you should report this to the police.
Your description (with ever-changing caller ID numbers) sounds more like general spam/scam callers who use fake caller IDs to place calls via automatic dialling. If that is the case, then changing numbers will only offer you temporary respite.
Also worth noting that your 'new' number will actually be a recycled number from a pool of numbers owned by VM. Your new number may bring with it its own history of nuisance calls.
You could consider this trueCall device which works well in my experience

second hand units crop up on eBay at much reduced prices. Some BT phones also have a simplified version of trueCall built in.
Rather than blocking numbers (which is a never-ending task), trueCall screens the calls and only rings your home phone if the caller completes the screening process.
