Umm no, many of us have bought/sold property over the years and have a solid understanding of how it works. As Slava pointed out, what your asking is no different than asking the realtor to cut you a $4,000 cheque.
You're original question of "How about asking her to cut her commission by 4k and eat the difference?" has been answered many times over, with many options for alternatives to it.
Tl;dr: No, asking your realtor to cut their commission is not kosher, you may have other negotiating options.
