Is there any way to tell the macOS of a 2011 15“ MacBookPro that the hardware is a 13“ model instead of 15“?

To tell you something about the background: I have a 2011 15“ MBP with faulty AMD GPU. The dGPU is already deactivated hard- and software wise but there are still issues in the photos app with some raw-files (.CR2). Since the 13“ model has as well only the HD3000 GPU and no such problems, I would like to spoof the device type and check if it helps.

Could OpenCore be an option?
