There is an easy way to realize the two-way stretch which is adding two stretch actions. Though it can realize a two-way stretch, the action of stretch is independent. The parameter needs some additional setup to realize the two-way symmetrical stretch.
1. Add Stretch Actions:
Add two stretch actions for the parameter, and select the two grips of the two parameters as the relevant point of each action.
2. Modify Base Location:
In the misc, modify the base location from "Start Point" to "MidPoint", like the shown picture below. Save and quit the block editor.
3. Test Dynamic Block:
