I've simplified thirtydot answer. You can use this jQuery function for any property you want to add pixels.

jQuery.fn.addPixelsTo = function(property, pxls) {    
     return $(this[0]).css(property, (parseInt($(this[0]).css(property).substr(0,2))+pxls)+'px');
}

Example:

$('#element').addPixelsTo('border-top-width', 30);
