How to change route gw on export to BGP neighbor?

Hello,
I'm trying to to export some routes from our internal OSPF to BGP , both
running in the same bird instance. I am able to filter those routes via
BGP just fine (some tables connected via pipe). The problem is that all
exported routes have private gw addresses (10.x.x.x). I am unable to
configure bird to change gw of routes before then get sent to neighbors.
Neighbors see original gateways from 10.0.0.0/8 range which is
invalid/unreachable from outside of course.
Here is also some simplyfied example, not showing OSPF setup etc. In
this example I also don't show the pipes between tables. All of those
doesn't seem to be important in this case.
########
router id 1.1.1.2;
protocol kernel krnl4 {
ipv4 {
export all;
import all; # route 2.2.2.0/24 gets into bird here
};
learn;
}
protocol device {
}
protocol bgp {
local 1.1.1.2 as 65000;
neighbor 1.1.1.1 as 65000;
strict bind;
ipv4 {
import none;
export filter {
# here I want to export routes with changed gateways
bgp_next_hop = 1.1.1.5; # sets next hop but not gw
gw = 1.1.1.5; # <ERR> filters, line XY: Invalid gw address
print "export bgp ", net, " gw ", gw, " bnh ", bgp_next_hop;
# <INFO> export bgp 2.2.2.0/24 gw 1.1.1.5 bnh 1.1.1.5
accept;
};
};
}

With similar setup in a lab I was able to change those gw attributes on
RECEIVING side in import filter to any arbitrary value I wanted. In real
life I don't manage those BGP routers so I need to make sure to send
correct routes.
The example config prints changed gw but BGP peer sees the original gw.
In some tests I got error "Invalid gw address" but now I don't have that
config. Here it just ignores changed gw.
Is there a configuration to achieve this?
Thanks
