Gmail uses Perl regex for searching. I think this string should do it.

Use an alternate browser than your regular one
Open a private browsing tab or window - all browsers have them (Chrome calls it "Incognito window", for example)

In Gmail, marking email as spam only marks it as spam for you, not for others.

I forward all my mail from one of my Gmail accounts to another Gmail account, including what Gmail would normally filter to the Spam folder. I use the is:spam query with the Never send it to Spam rule in the inbound filter to allow spam to be forwarded. Do note the use of is rather than in.

You could try POPing/IMAPing your email to an email client, using one of the various spam filter solutions.
Back in the days before I was 100% using Gmail (2008?), I was a big fan of SpamPal under Windows. But it looks now to be a dead project (although there are some recent kudos on the sourceforge page, so I think it still might work).
One caveat with ...

I'm quite sure this is currently not possible from within Gmail.
You can try to sync ALL your mail with f.e. Thunderbird or Outlook and look for a way to do the trick in that program, I don't know much of these so I don't know if it's possible with them.
But I'm sure Gmail can't.
