From the datasheet, I gather that you just need to insert a suitable resistor in the GND terminal. See p10 of the data sheet: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm1084.pdf
The typical value should be 200Ω for a 1V increase, but you could make it adjustable for more flexibility

It will also confer a ~ -4mV/°C tempco to the output voltage. Might be desirable or not.A couple of diodes in series in the GND terminal works as well (but you may not hit 6.0 spot on then)

You could use an ADR510 voltage reference from the ground pin of the LM1084 to ground and a 4.7K resistor from the output of the LM1084 to the ground pin of the LM1084 to supply sufficient current for the ADR510.
This way you would not reduce the power supply rejection ratio nearly as much as the previous two examples.

If you were to use a resistor in series with the ground pin of the Lm1084 the value of the resistor for a typical ground pin current of 55μA would be 18.181K. From the datasheet page 5. The example shown on page 10 was probably copied from the 7805 regulator which has a 5mA ground pin current.

You confuse the LM1084-adj with the LM1084-5. The latter includes a resistive divider passing 5mAIf you were to use a resistor in series with the ground pin of the Lm1084 the value of the resistor for a typical ground pin current of 55μA would be 18.181K. From the datasheet page 5. The example shown on page 10 was probably copied from the 7805 regulator which has a 5mA ground pin current.
I guess the adjustment pin current is not the ground pin current. I found another data sheet with different values 7 to 10 mA here. and 3 μA on the adjustment pin.

I wonder what the actual current is in the LM1084 as I don't see it on the datasheet?

Since it is a 3-pin device and it has to comply with Kirchhoff's law, Iadj necessarily equals Ignd.I guess the adjustment pin current is not the ground pin current.
Iadj applies to the adjustable version and Ignd to the fixed ones, but it is purely a terminology issue.
Anyway, an adjustable resistor of 220 ohm in the ground terminal will cover all the range of possible currents for the fixed type, and will not appreciably degrade any of the characteristics
