It's not really that complicated. Book under your name/MR number and then make the switch for payment/earning at check out. Regardless of whether this meets the rules, it is possible and predictable. It just takes a little time at check out.
There should not be any errors, as you'll be able to see which MR number is on the folio before you depart.
You could also alternate booking and just add your number upon arrival, but then you will miss any Platinum benefits that would have required advance notice to the hotel (for example, upgrades are sometimes assigned prior to check in).
