I don't think that's possible.  This is about the _single_ root DNSKEY
RRset - switching which key signs the set (tags 19036 and 20326). 
Resolvers will either successfully validate this RRset or not, and
consequently they either can validate all other signatures in the root
zone or they can't trust anything in the whole DNS tree.
