A key element of BGP loop prevention is not doing this. Wanting
to do this suggests to me your BGP design is wrong or you are
using the wrong solution for the job.

Complete guess: are you trying to survive when your AS becomes
partitioned? If so, the easy way (given you say "provider")
is simply to carry around an IGP or BGP default route pointing
at said provider.
