  1. CSS cannot manipulate text; it’s purely a language for styling your content.

    But you’re using PHP — just have the PHP output whatever you wanted in the first place.

    <?php echo str_replace('p>', 'whatever>', get_the_excerpt()); ?>
    
  2. Function the_excerpt() was echo in return, so don’t use echo ( recommended to used in wp loop ). If you need to use echo, use function get_the_excerpt().

    If you have issue html not decode properly, use wp_specialchars_decode. Here the options that you can achieve:

    Filter the_excerpt, put this code into functions.php

        add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpse221201_get_the_excerpt', 1, 1 );
        function wpse221201_get_the_excerpt( $content )
        {
            if ( ! is_admin() )
                return wp_specialchars_decode( $content );
    
             return $content;
        }
    

    Or direct decode into function

    echo wp_specialchars_decode( get_the_excerpt() );
