You need to have your Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER set accurately. And... It may help to turn off the software endstops: #define min_software_endstops true // If true, axis won't move to coordinates...

Since the probe is stopping early and wont move right down then mostly likely you need to issue a G92 Z10. That tricks the controller into thinking the z-min endstop is 10mm lower, or at least below...
