Damaging an item with a command?

I'm making a datapack that seperates the functionality of books and quills, so I want to have a quill item. I don't want the quill to be damaged and break in the traditional way, but I want it to constantly dry out until it's dry and you need to craft it together with ink to "refill" it. Is there a way I can remove durability (or add damage?) to the item using a command?
