Very little clearance between the stone counter and top of
DW.

Does the DW alcove have a horizontal rail at the top, say 1x2?

I've had such a cabinet and have seen others like this. There was
always the option of removing that rail and ripping it down a bit for
more clearance.

My present alcove does not have that railing at the top (cabinet has
3/4" gap at the top - under the stone substrate). The kitchen is tile
and stops real close at/under the kick plate.

Get the measurements of the DW had check the rough opening.
