You could select "Top-up pre-pay", then select enter amount,
then enter £6, put in £10, and get £4 change. I've even seen
American tourists do it, so it can't be that hard. (joke).

This is not an option on any Tube ticket machine I've ever seen.
(I even checked on my local one when I used it today.)

I'm pretty sure that I was able to select an amount other than the
note I put in at Kings Cross a few weeks ago. However, it was very
late and I may have been hallucinating.

That can be done, but only by adding the amount actually inserted as
cash. I don't think (and I thought I tried this) you can persuade it to
give change.
