It's not clear to me what is your objective. Are you interested in model prediction or only parameter estimation? The answer to this question will likely dictate the approach you use. Here are a few papers you might find useful related to strategies using multimodel inference.
Arnold, T. W. 2010. Uninformative Parameters and Model Selection Using Akaike's Information Criterion. Journal of Wildlife Management 74:1175-1178.
Doherty, P. F., G. C. White, and K. P. Burnham. 2012. Comparison of model building and selection strategies. Journal of Ornithology 152:S317-S323.
Morin, D. J., C. B. Yackulic, J. E. Diffendorfer, D. B. Lesmeister, C. K. Nielsen, J. Reid, and E. M. Schauber. 2020. Is your ad hoc model selection strategy affecting your multimodel inference? Ecosphere 11:e02997.
