I have been having an issue where lately it seems like if I have tptk on the flop and bet, I get called only for the board to pair.

I have heard the pros talk about how this is a good thing since now you have two pairs yourself etc but my experience lately tends to be if they are putting money in on a paired board they seem to have trips or better.

Obviously it would be exploitable if you fold every time the board pairs and they put in money in.

Do you think it would be profitable to over fold to paired boards when they start to bet?

Unfortunately, the answer is "it depends."

This is too broad of a question to come up with reliable heuristics.

Yeah, AF is right here. I will say that I find the population to underbluff, but also underfold on paired boards. So (very generally) we want to be very cautious if they are betting, especially if they called flop and turn comes pairing one of the top two cards, and we want to ramp down bluffs and ramp up value on paired boards, especially OTF. But that is extremely general advice that depends hugely on many other factors.
