Issur Danielovitch Demsky legally changed his name to Kirk Douglas when he joined the Navy in 1941, according to Prof. Wikipedia, but he didn't become known as an actor until 1946.
If they were to re-issue the book today, would they rename the hero?

That's nothing. There is another celebrity whose name at birth was Michael Douglas. We know him now as Michael Keaton. lol.
