[UE5.1]Any way to change the DirectX of a project if the option to do so doesn't appear in the settings?

Try lowering the scalability settings. Configuration files also have an entry for the backend in /Config/DefaultEngine.ini:

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX12
