Achievement won't re-lock, probably because of "IncrementOnly" flag. Is it possible with the Steam console?

I'm trying to relock the achievements from Bomber Crew, appID: 537800, but some stats are flagged as IncrementOnly meaning the associated achievement can't be relocked. This seems to be a known issue with how Steam works and SAM can't do anything about it.

However, I found some Steam documentation that there's a command reset_all_stats <appid> you can run in the Steam client console (Win+R shortcut to open the Run window, then paste steam://open/console to open the console) and that command is supposed to "clear stats." However, I'm unsure if it will properly reset the IncrementOnly stats, allowing their achievements to be relocked. I'm hesitant to just try it because if it doesn't work, then the unlock dates will be screwed up with it saying I unlocked the hardest endgame achievements before all the easiest ones you get at the start of the game. That will bug me like crazy, and could possibly get my account flagged on an achievement tracker site I use.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Can someone test it/verify whether the reset_all_stats <appid> command has any effect on IncrementOnly stats where SAM doesn't work? Is there a way I can test it myself with a dummy account (Family sharing? I've never used that before.) to see if it works before trying it for real?

SAM exposes that as the bomb icon in the top right of the UI. It should reset all the stats.

Issue #170 mentioned the bomb as a possible solution for this, but the user said that "it would revert as soon as I refreshed."

If I use the bomb and I have a repeat of their experience, that will lead to the issues I mentioned above. Is there a way I can test it with a dummy account before trying it for real?

Sorry, I don't know.
