How to change Dx and Dy of pspicture grid?

Question

I don't want to use \psaxes, \psgrid, or manually recreate my own grid with multido, etc.

I just want to reuse the available grid of pspicture. Is there any option to change Dx and Dy such that the grid labels can be multiple of 5, for example, instead of 1?

\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt,12pt]{standalone}
\psset{unit=5mm}
\newpsstyle{gridstyle}
{
    gridlabels=8pt,
    gridfont=Arial,
    %   
    gridcolor=red,
    subgridcolor=gray,
    %
    subgriddiv=5,
    %
    gridwidth=.8pt,
    subgridwidth=.4pt,
    %
    griddots=10,
    subgriddots=5,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](25,25)

\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Bonus: how to slightly shift the horizontal labels to the left and vertical labels downward?

@Symbol1: Thank you for your encouragement. It is more than sufficient. — Display Name, Dec 17 '18 at 04:00
The grid scale can be changed by specifying e.g. unit=20mm in the gridstyle. But that does not provide control over the labelling. — Andrew Swann, Dec 18 '18 at 08:05

With the version 2.99 (available tomorrow)

\documentclass[pstricks,border=5mm,12pt]{standalone}
\psset{unit=5mm}
\newpsstyle{gridstyle}{gridlabels=8pt,gridfont=Helvetica,gridcolor=red,subgridcolor=gray,subgriddiv=5,
   gridwidth=.8pt, subgridwidth=.4pt,griddots=10,subgriddots=5,
   griddx=5,
   griddy=2,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](25,25)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
