It might be as simple as returning a different value
for QStyle::PM_FocusFrameHMargin and QStyle::PM_FocusFrameVMargin in a
QStyle::pixelMetric or QProxyStyle::pixelMetric implementaton. If you're
using one of the standard styles then it's pretty simple to create and use
a QProxyStyle class to tweak pixel metrics and other aspects of the style.

If that doesn't work you may be able to reimplement
Q[Proxy]Style::drawControl for element QStyle::CE_FocusFrame and handle the
drawing of the focus frame itself.

One thing to watch out for is that making QStyle::PM_FocusFrameHMargin and
QStyle::PM_FocusFrameVMargin larger than default can result in the focus
frame getting clipped in some situations. We see this using persistent
editors in itemviews sometimes, and I think we also sometimes see this when
certain widgets are in splitters.
