Dotti,
Phyllis has (almost) the opposite problem. She's 5'3" - no problem with our microwave...BUT... believe it or not - her issue is our new topload washer. It's an LG with a large deep tub. She just can't reach to the very bottom of the tub to retrieve the washed clothes. I would be happy to help (well...) - but our solution is in fact a small step stool. It's the little fold-up variety, bought at BB&Beyond. She folds the sides in and it stores at the side of the washer - also uses it for cabinet-reaching at times. It's very sturdy.
I understand you would love a permanent MW solution, lowering it. I'm certain it could be done, with some Bill-work. I'd be happy to help... Actually I installed our microwave here - and had the elect stove out from the area; because I KNEW if not, I'd drop that sucker on the top - Murphy watches for me to do dumb things...
