There is no direct method of doing this in the toolpath, but you could define your tool with some "shaft" segments:
Assuming your tool is a straight shank, with no portion of the shank being larger than the tool diameter itself, this would give you a toolpath like this (the pocket being milled is a straight walled pocket):
Now, Simulation is going to show a lot of collisions, but if your tool is in fact a straight shank, these would be false collisions. As you can see in the image above, a good portion of the cut is incrementally tapered. (not sure why it's not all tapered, will continue poking at it as time allows)
