Reduce the number of your characters by combining them. Your problem isn't that your characters are all the same. It's that you have a relatively small main cast with duplicates.

Personally, I dislike books with large casts. It's too much for me to keep track of, particularly if the author hasn't done the work to distinguish them.

But maybe the problem isn't just that there are too many characters. It's that your characters are too cliched. You'll still have more luck making them into unique individuals if you aren't trying to juggle too many of them.
