Have you looked at RotateAround()?, you can rotate around a point in space on the z axis

 transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward, 20 * Time.deltaTime); //rotates 20 degrees a second around the z axis at the world origin

Does it work exactly the same as changing the pivot on the sprite?

It is effectively acting as your rotation pivot. It will change the object’s location and rotation unless RotateAround() is set to the origin of the transform at which point it just rotates around itself and does not affect the position at all

RotateAround() did not help me as it still resulted in the slight change in transform.position and thus some jittery movements
