I would like to be able to increase the thickness of the bevel, is there a method to do this without adding components or scripting? It would be nice if you can enter a number (similar to the button Matte) to change the bevel thickness. Difference between the BEVEL and MATTE I noticed is that with MATTE when the style customizer is used the edge color does not change.  
This is basically to add a more “button” look or to make it more apparent when a raised and indent bevel are placed side by side.

No, it's not possible to trivially change the 'thickness' of the bevel border:

What might work (requiring scripting) would be to create nested CompoundBorders; see my recent post for some inspiration:
