To use the 'sky oc' function for the ASRock Z170 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 you need BIOS L2.23 which has since been removed from ASRock's website.

Luckily a Korean message board still has the ASRock 'sky oc' (non-k oc) BIOS listed on this page.

The problem isn't with downgrading the microcode, it is with downgrading to a lower BIOS version and Intel ME FW version.

You can try using Instant Flash to downgrade the BIOS and if that won't allow the downgrade you will likely need to use Intel's FPT.
