Disclaimer: What follows is an extremely hacky untested solution using
some shell foo.

By default org-latex-to-pdf-process is bound to something like this:

pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f

You could try replacing that with the following:

pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o
\pdfminorversion=4 $(cat %f)

Hope this helps.
