@alen_malagic
what you are looking for is called orthotropic friction. ANSYS has this. and it allows you to define two tangential contact stiffness. You should have a look at the Mechanical APDL Theory Reference under the section on Contact Algorithms. I have not used this before so I cannot say more. Hopefully, someone who has can give you precise details.
