Other than LvM, I can’t think of any.
Locke was not perfectly libertarian because he believed in IP. Does anyone know if he believed in public roads?

Ayn Rand, Immanuel Kant, Karl Popper, Herbert Spencer, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, David Hume, JS Mill, Thomas Paine, Toqueville… many many people.
Thomas Hodgskin, Benjamin Tucker,Lysander Spooner,
John Prince Smith, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Benjamin Constant as well as most of the French Liberal School to name a few.
Social democrat for Friedman and Paine?
@Scott F
Benjamin Tucker and Lysander Spooner are both anarchists.
All the ones I listed are more libertarian than John Locke.
Of course, John Locke was not an anarchist or explicitly libertarian. So it is not difficult to find philosophers with a better libertarian message.
I think you’ve erroneously labeled some of those, though, as ‘social democrat’. Which is a pigeonholing based merely on the fact that they were not anarchists.
