You can use stencil-align-dir-y instead of \lower here.

 \override TextSpanner #'font-shape = #'solid

You can remove this.

 \override TextSpanner #'font-size = #'-2

If you use \number for the markup, -5 will match string numbers exactly.

\relative c {
 \clef "treble_8"
 b16 d g b e
 \textSpannerDown
 \override TextSpanner #'style = #'solid
 \override TextSpanner #'font-size = #-5
 \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left stencil-align-dir-y) = #CENTER
 \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup { \circle
\number 6 }
 \set stringNumberOrientations = #'(down)
 g16\startTextSpan
 b16 e g e b g\stopTextSpan
 e16 b g d
}
