What makes you think that a different PID schedule will give better heat creep resistance? As far as I know there is no link between PID and heat creep, unless you overshoot 40-50 °C or do. Heat creep is mostly related to too high print temperatures, printing speed and retraction length.

According to the description to use M301, the heater number needs to be included,
M301 P20 I0.02 D250

should therefore be:
M301 H1 P20 I0.02 D250


Parameters
Hnnn heater number (Smoothie uses 'S', Redeem uses 'E')
Pnnn proportional (Kp)
Innn integral (Ki)
Dnnn derivative (Kd)
Examples
M301 H1 P1 I2 D3 ; Marlin, RepRapFirmware
