You cannot do this through webdav. The webdav ACL specification has many 
severe limitations - though it's quite powerful for querying existing 
ACLs, it's extremely limited in how you can specify ACLs to set in the 
ACL method. Slide chooses to make all ACEs set through this method 
inheritable, since there's no way for the client to specify the desired 
ACL semantics for this sort of thing.

Your only option is to write some java code (possibly as a servlet - 
it's your choice) that uses the slide low-level API to set the ACL you want.
