[Switch] Is it possible to transfer save data between Nintendo Accounts?

I recently turned 18, and my parents are turning over control of the "family" Nintendo Account to me. We only have the one, and I'm the only one that uses it, so all the save data on it is mine. However, it uses my Dad's DOB, and also has parental controls on from when I was younger. I found out from the account support center that you can't change the DOB, and he doesn't want to remove the restrictions in case my younger sibling wants to play in the future, so he said I should just make a new account with my info. However, I have a 4+ year Switch Online subscription and over 8,000 hours of total playtime across all my games and both a Switch and Switch 2. I don't want to lose all of that save data. Is there any way to transfer the save data to a new account, or am I stuck with the old account if I want to keep my data?
