It should not be a big problem. You can make one and the same person affidavit.

My suggestion would be to get the passport corrected, if possible. it will be helpful in long term.

If not, then put both the names in DS160 & collect proofs to prove that both are same person - like photo IDs for same person with different names, etc.

At last the Oath letter as suggested by you - in my experience, given such self-signed letter doesn't have much value for VOs.

Did one and the Same person affidavit worked for you? if yes, was it notarized or self-attested affidavit? if not, is there any solution to this problem?
