Hi Leeny.

Does the typeface that the logo written in have more weights? Finding a medium, regular, light or thin font would be a better option. Butchering a fonts weight by adding a border is going to make the letterforms irregular and disproportionate. It's the designers role to do a proper job - and the way it's been done now is very crude, to be honest.

However you can do what you describe: choose object > path > outline-stroke - then delete the extraneous paths.
