How to change the starting point on a path when using a brush to stroke?

I'm using a brush to stroke a path in different frames and layers to get a sparkle animation. The special brush settings are 1000% spacing and 50% size jitter.

The problem is that the brush always starts at the same place/point, so there is a brush object that remains intact in the animation (pointed with the red arrows at the image below).

Is there a way to solve this? Changing some brush parameters or something else. This image is an example with a simple path, in the real illustration the path is an irregular shape, so flipping the path is not an option.

The problem is that this animation is a small part of an action, I would prefer a solution inside Photoshop rather than an external script.

A Photoshop Script is not much different than a Photoshop Action.  They  are Photoshop automations.  Photoshop Action can use Photoshop  Scripts and Photoshop scripts can use Photoshop actions.  They work in Photoshop so I do not understand what you mean by an external Photoshop Scripts. Photoshop Scripts and Actions only work within Photoshop.

Thanks for your suggestion, I have read many answers. The problem is that this animation is a small part of an action, I would prefer a solution inside Photoshop rather than an external script.
