I can't speak about the American experience but as someone English I would say don't worry about erasing your accent.
If an accent is too strong, yes it can be a hinderance but English is a very flexible language and native speakers are very quick to adapt to variations because we grow up with large regional variations. We expect it.
In most cases having some varience in accent is charming.
I've been lucky enough to work with people from all over the world in my personal experience I may occationally ask you to repeat something but I'll lock in soon enough.
We used to have a TV show in the UK called "Rab C. Nesbitt"[1] about a guy from Glasgow with a seemingly impenitrable accent. Here's the thing though, you'd watch the first 5 minutes and not understand a word ...and then sunddenly you get it. If it works for him it will work for you.

Weirdly this is an episode of BBC comedy show Rab C Nesbitt - he bets on the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 and that weeks winning numbers are 7,8,9,10,11,12.

The accents maybe a bit hard to understand.
