The border around the entire text/logo. What instead of offset path?

Hi,

I am trying to make a logo for a certain band and everything would be great, but I can't make a rim around the whole. The graphics look like this:

When I want to use the Offset Path option for the whole, something like this comes out:

I understand that this is dictated by the shape of the sharp ends of the letters, but is there any option, any chance to do it differently? To get this effect:
