When Andersen Levelers aren't enough....
We stayed in one CG, where I was full up on the very end of the Andersens, and just got it side-to-side level. But it got me thinking whether I need to bring something for "just in case" if we get a ...

Being made of hard plastic though the leveler can slip on any slick surface so it surprises me that you'd be able to successfully keep them in place sitting atop 2" x 8" wood.

Never had slippage issues, as land where we camp doesn't typically spontaneously tilt to one side or another while we're there.
Seriously though, short of not making full surface contact with the leveler, I can't imagine a scenario that would allow it to slip unless the ground just failed underneath it.
Stack one length of 2x wood atop another, pull the trailer up on to the stack, and chances are the top piece is going to slip relative to the piece it's sitting on, particularly if they're wet. :M That's why plastic leveling blocks are designed to interlock - so one can't slip out of position relative to the other. Andersen levelers are made of hard plastic and unless a rubber or abrasive pad is used there's always the potential for the leveler's hard plastic surface to slip when it's sitting on another hard, flat surface such as tarmac. As I recall even Andersen recognizes this fact and does offer a slip pad that can be used to prevent this. Campsites may not "tilt spontaneously" but they sure do slope, sometimes considerably, so I always want my trailer firmly secured so it absolutely can't slip out of position - Andersens, as designed, don't always provide that assurance but a rubber base as I suggested earlier would go a long way to preventing any slippage, as well as providing a bit more lift the OP is seeking.
Good thing we have the internet...to help us worry about things that we ought not be worried about.
I take it that you have first-hand experience with Andersen leveler slippage...??
