There's no provision there for increasing your DX through Extra Effort, just your ST. And given that ST is called out directly but DX isn't mentioned, there's no particular reason to think you can use extra effort to increase your DX.

"speed attained"
So... speed attained is now a provision of ST is it? ;)
Now you can try to argue that this is specifically to cover "running faster" (which is legit straight from Basic), but since Extra Effort In Combat was wrongly* removed, I stand by my ruling.
* In my opinion. I know why Kromm stripped it, I simply disagree. Need something for my FP 14+ warrior types to spend FP on in combat after all...
