Since this effect will normally only be used for special cases (and not 
cross page boundaries), you can safely use:

% plain example that should also work in "whatevertex"

\pdfoutput=1

\def\outlined#1{{\pdfliteral{1 Tr}#1\pdfliteral{0 Tr}}}

\font\normaltest=cmr10  at 60pt
\font\boldtest  =cmbx10 at 60pt

\normaltest test \outlined{\boldtest test} test

\end
