See for instance mathpages.com/home/kmath674/kmath674.htm . To go this route you end up with two different relativistic inertias for the same particle (one in the direction of boost and one perpendicular to boost). People have gone that road in the past, and some defined it as clear and useful, but I never mastered it to my own satisfaction.
