Vilas, if you're worried about clipping a step, fly the profile + 100ft. Better than resetting the altitude selector three times inside the FAF.
Blogs in Airbus we set the go around altitude not the minimum anyway. And the NPA is flown with FPV to whatever FPA and not with ROD. Well for safety it can be flown with higher FPA than required to the lower minimum. But this approach has complications that need to be understood and taken care off. May be airlines just restrict it to higher minimum if not coded in FMS.
