You can use parted to change the partition table exactly by using either
the b (bytes) units or s (sectors). You can get machine readable output
by passing -m

I *DO NOT* recommend doing this. Especially without a backup of the
data. But you could remove the existing partition and then re-create it
with the same starting position and new end.
