I wrote two extensions to do the job. First is to be used to change destination in the current node. The second is to be used to traverse multiple times into nested graphs

 |_nested_graph_1
   |
   |_nested_graph_2  
     |
     |_nested_graph_3
       |
       |_nested_graph_4
         |
         |_change this destination!!!!  

fun NavController.changeNodeDestination(nodeId: Int, destinationId: Int): NavController {
    val graph = graph.findNode(nodeId) as NavGraph
    graph.startDestination = destinationId
    return this
}

fun NavController.changeNodeDestination(vararg nodeIds: Int, destinationId: Int): NavController {
    var currentNode = graph

    nodeIds.forEachIndexed { index, i ->
        currentNode = currentNode.findNode(nodeIds[index]) as NavGraph
    }
    currentNode.startDestination = destinationId
    return this
}

Usage:

        findNavController().changeNodeDestination(
            R.id.navigation_login,
            R.id.nav_change_password,                  // GO two levels inside nested graphs
            destinationId = startDestination
        ).navigate(navID, bundle)
