How can I increase the notch attenuation without changing the bandwidth?

I have designed a notch filter of 50Hz cutoff frequency and 8Hz bandwidth and the sampling rate is 1500Hz as shown in the code below. I am getting an attenuation of 28.4dB for an input sinusoidal wave of 50Hz(I took the fft and checked). My bandwidth cannot be greater than this under any circumstances. Is there any way in which I can improve the attenuation for the same cutoff frequency and bandwidth?
Fs = 1500; % Sampling Frequency
t=0:1/Fs:(0.5-1/Fs);
S=sin(2*pi*50*t);
Fnotch = 50; % Notch Frequency
BW = 8; % Bandwidth
[b, a] = iirnotch(Fnotch/(Fs/2), BW/(Fs/2));
fvtool(b,a,2500)
out=filtfilt(b,a,S);

You can place two similar notch filters in a cascated way:
clc; clear;
%%parameters
Fs = 1500; % Sampling Frequency
t=0:1/Fs:(0.5-1/Fs);
S=sin(2*pi*50*t);
Fnotch = 50; % Notch Frequency
BW = 8; % Bandwidth
%%design filter
[b, a] = iirnotch(Fnotch/(Fs/2), BW/(Fs/2));
fvtool(b,a,2500)
%%two cascated filters
out_temp=filtfilt(b,a,S); %first stage
out=filtfilt(b,a,out_temp); % second stage
