NTFS permissions - hide DLL from client, but allow execution

I have Server 2022 domain controller with AD. I am sharing a folder with clients, and this folder contains the exe and dll files for an application.

I have set permissions so that the exe is visible to the client user which is fine. The issue is that the dll is also visible. I want to make the DLL invisible, but the DLL can still be used when the client runs the exe.

Any advise would be appreciated.
