This question comes up periodically from umpires who work softball. Apparently retreating even a step toward HP is a violation in that activity.

In any level of baseball I am aware of the B/R may (provided he has not already aquired 1st base) retreat until reaching home plate.

In FED softball they may stop but not retreat. Immediate dead ball if they do.
