Then give the #1 pick to the team with the best record who just missed the playoffs

Or maybe put the first 5 picks up for bid? The teams can bid using their draft pick allotment for the year. You rank them the same way we do know worst to best, assign pick values like one of the draft pick trade charts

Then each team submits a one time secret bid for the top five picks using the value they want to give up and they lose those picks. So basically they're trading up for the pick. The top five bids get the top 5 picks in order of bet bid to worst. Then after the top 5 they go worst to best same as normal. The worst teams would still have the advantage, but at the cost of spending multiple picks to secure the best picks.

They can even televise the bid reveals and any ensuing tie breaker rebids.
