Use TextMeshPro Mesh as Stencil Cut Out?

Howdy,
I'm trying to work towards being able to "cut out" a text string (textmeshpro mesh) from another mesh, like a cube or some other simple primitive for "stencil" effect. If related approaches, sample projects or available assets in the asset store ring any bells for anyone I'd appreciate any response.

I've been googling around but figure I'd ask if anyone has anyone helpful suggestions.

Thanks.
