In this case, I consider the dugout to be "the base beyond", and until she enters, she can try to beat the catcher back to the plate.

Speaking ASA, this is not true.
The only time a runner cannot return to touch a missed base or a base left too soon, is when they have touched or gone beyond the next awarded base when the ball has been blocked or overthrown.
