It'll never get completely solid because the layers are still only 2d but you can certainly improve the look.

Create the layer with the text and this expression to the anchorpoint
thisComp.layer(index - 1).transform.anchorpoint - [0,0,.5]

This'll push your current layer .5 pixels behind the layer above it. Continue duplicating the layer to add depth. Instead of having to go through each layer to make changes just delete your duplicates, make your change, and reduplicate.

Cool Tip Tyler, I knew there had to be something to streamline this.
