Goatheads suck, man, I feel for you.

Pick up some Stans or other tubeless MTB sealant, get tubes with removable cores, and put sealant in your tubes. A goathead can be plucked out and reseal from sealant with a couple revs. AND I've seen advice, don't even bother plucking them out. Just let them stay in there and sealant do its work. A really big obnoxious one clip it off maybe but leave the thorn in?

OR get some Mr Tuffy or other tire liners and use whatever tires you want.
