You can use the Express tool TXTEXP to turn your text into lines. 

From the example below you will have to do a little clean up afterwards as sometimes there are extra lines etc.

CNC machine only reads model file if I am not mistaken. It's just like 3D printer. Even if the thickness of the text is 1/256" or 0.0000001mm. it is still 3D.

Hope this helps.
