You could download the free version of Lightburn and try that- it likely is a software setting somewhere IMHO.

In LightBurn, this is trivial - Go to Edit > Device Settings and switch on 'Z Enable', and 'Relative Z Moves'. (you'll likely also want 'Relative Z moves')
Then, in the cut layer, change the Z offset to the amount you want the laser head to offset from the focus height for just that layer. That's it.
One of our users has played with this quite a bit and posted a number of videos showing it:

I've personally used it as a second pass over acrylic to fuse the dust back into an engraved pocket and smooth it.
