How can I add an offset to the first layer to increase clearance?

My printer is calibrated for a certain minimum distanceclearance from the heated bed, which is chosen based on PLA.

I would like to try to increase the distance between nozzle and heated bedit for the first layer for PETG, so that adhesion is reduced. The printer has M5 screws with 4000 steps/mm, so the resolution clearly allows that.

I don't want to modify the printer, I would like a G-Code or another option that I can apply in Prusa slicer in association with the specific filament when desired. I don't want to change the flow rate of the first layer, only the "zero" distance.

How can I do that?
