At this point, it will be a lot less detrimental to the plant to topdress the bed with fresh soil, compost mix or mulch than it would be to dig the bed up and try to put soil under it.

Usually, a plant such as this will send out new roots in response to being covered. This will prevent any harm from covering the stalks further up.
