Protractor dragAndDrop by offset Location of Element

Question: Is there a way that I can offset the starting location to drag?

I would like to edit the location of where to start the dragging process. Testing on another element that I can grab without adjustment the below code works fine:

var controlPoint = $$('circle.points').first();
browser.actions().
        dragAndDrop(controlPoint.getLocation(), {x: 500, y: 50}).
        perform();

However when I try to set it up for modifying the location like this:

var controlPoint = $$('circle.points').first();
controlPoint.getLocation().then(function (loc) { 
    // would modify loc.x and loc.y here if this didn't give an error
    browser.actions().
        dragAndDrop(loc, {x: 500, y: 50}).
        perform();
});

I get the following error:

Is it possible to parameterize the second parameter or offset to dragAndDrop? Drag and drop works with hardcoded offset object like here described {x: 500, y: 50} but treats {x:x, y:y}, at least for me, as undefined (in ActionSequence.mouseMove function).

The problem is in dragAndDrop(loc because dragAndDrop() takes an ElementFinder or WebElement as first argument and you're passing loc which is an Object with x and y properties.

Try this:

browser.actions().
    dragAndDrop(controlPoint, {x: 500, y: 50}).
    perform();
