Could someone please explain how to add some padding around the text or
point me to the location in the documentation or mail archive that deals
with this issue?

Just use:

\markup {
  \override #'(thickness . 5)
  \whiteout { \fontsize #-3 \line { ad libitum } }
}

This is documented in the documentation for markup commands, NR A.11.7.
