[Attempto] compound adverbs in ACE

In the troubleshooting guide the following example is given:

Adverbs that modify other adverbs are not supported in ACE.

*John drives extremely carefully.

In order to modify a verb with two or more adverbs, you must coordinate
them, e.g.

John drives extremely and carefully.

But John drives extremely/very and carefully makes no sense in English. (It
works for  A customer inserts a card carefully and manually.).

I thought one way could be  a:very-carefully (1-word adverb), though that's
not english.
Are there other ways? Reading through the documentation it doesn't seem to?
