Only by changing the ordering in the config file, as you noticed.

The other http.* options will choose the most-specific match, but the
credential code predates that, and blindly goes in config order. Kyle
(cc'd) added the urlmatch support for http.*, and might be able to say
whether it could be adapted for the credential code. If so, then I think
it would need somebody to volunteer to work on it.

That would technically be a backwards-incompatible change to switch the
lookup order at this point in time, but I'm somewhat of the opinion that
in any case it matters, the new behavior would be a strict improvement.
