If I understand the situation correctly it would perhaps be easiest to use window level resource definition and set the visual effects over there. Something like

XML

<Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
        <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
                <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
    <ListView>
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn.Header>
                        <GridViewColumnHeader Margin="-3,0,0,0" Tag="Col 1" BorderThickness="0"  Width="auto" Height="40" Content="Col 1" />
                    </GridViewColumn.Header>
                </GridViewColumn>
                <GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn.Header>
                        <GridViewColumnHeader Margin="-3,0,0,0" Tag="Col 2" BorderThickness="0"  Width="auto" Height="40" Content="Col 2"/>
                    </GridViewColumn.Header>
                </GridViewColumn>
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>
</Grid>

If you want a more complex visualization for the header, then consider using a ControlTemplate. For more information, see How to create a template - WPF .NET | Microsoft Docs[^]

EDIT: Modified version using control template

XML

<Window.Resources>
    <ControlTemplate x:Key="CustomHeader" TargetType="GridViewColumnHeader">
        <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Height="40">
            <TextBlock Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" Text="{TemplateBinding Tag}" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
            <Thumb x:Name="PART_HeaderGripper" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0" Width="1"/>
        </Grid>
    </ControlTemplate>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="#EFEFEF"/>
        <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
                <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
    <ListView>
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn.Header>
                        <GridViewColumnHeader Template="{StaticResource CustomHeader}" Margin="-3,0,0,0" BorderThickness="0" Tag="Col 1" />
                    </GridViewColumn.Header>
                </GridViewColumn>
                <GridViewColumn>
                    <GridViewColumn.Header>
                        <GridViewColumnHeader Template="{StaticResource CustomHeader}" Margin="-3,0,0,0" BorderThickness="0" Tag="Col 2" />
                    </GridViewColumn.Header>
                </GridViewColumn>
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>
</Grid>
