Copy pasting code is allowed under LGPL, but doing so while removing license headers and attribution of code snippets would not be.

Only if the code you copy pasted the LGPL part into is licenced under a compatible license, and Apache is not.
The simplest way to comply while keeping your incompatible license is to isolate the LGPL part into a dynamic library, there are other ways, but it is by far the most common.
copy/pasting, or using some other mechanism to do digital duplication is irrelevant - the removal of the existing license and essentially _re-license_ without authority is the problem, no matter what the mechanism of including the code is.
this is accurate and how i should have phrased it. i should not have mentioned dynamic linking; you're right it's not relevant
thank you!
