Can you change MacBook Bluetooth ID so two os can be seen as different hardware?

Is there a way to change the OSX Bluetooth ID that is used by external Bluetooth devices during automatic paring?

I run 2 or more OSX installations on separate MacBook partitions. Devices do not automatically re-connect again if a device is paired with partition 1 and partition 2 boots up and tries to connect. I need to manually unpair the device in OSX and then re-pair it. Seems this could be avoided by changing the Bluetooth equivalent of an Ethernet MAC address at the OS or driver level.

Is changing Bluetooth identity possible on macOS or with a tool?
