Unless you are sending the html and not the epub then you are jumping through useless hoops. If you are sending the epub to your ereader it is not getting the author name from that header it is getting the author name from the metadata in the epub itself found in the content.opf file. So if you are sending the epub to your reader then just update the metadata (author name) in the calibre library (see attached), delete the epub on your ereader and resend the epub. The content.opf file will be updated during the send and everything is fine.

Just set the save template in Preferences - Saving books to disk to something like
{author_sort}-{series:||-}{series_index:05.2f||-}{title}

You can have calibre add a tag or tags to every book added to calibre. Go to Preferences - Adding books and place Fandom in the Tags to apply when adding books window.

Of course it shows "Hordynski, Grzegorz" as the author that is my point. Hitting F8 shows you the metadata that is in the epub and "Hordynski, Grzegorz" is the author listed in the metadata.
If you want some other author in the metadata for that epub then change the name in the calibre library view prior to converting the book or prior to resending the epub to your device. If the metadata in calibre's library is wrong the metadata in the epub will be wrong, FIX-IT.
I think you are over thinking this. Unless you are sending the html to your ereader what you want to do is basic calibre usage. Read the Calibre User Manual found
here as a web page or
here as an ePub. Alternatively you might want to read the sticky posts in here,
New to calibre? Start Here or
Video Tutorials. Hopefully one of these resources will convey the concept better then I have been able to articulate.
Good Luck.
