How does one protect kitchen counter top receptacles using a gfci per 210.8.A.6 and a cafci per 210.12.A at the same time?

They make a breaker that is both Gfci and Afci . You can also use an afci breaker then use a gfci receptacle at the first receptacle

Around here a dual function cost less than just an AFCI.
It's becoming the norm to all dual function.

And, if you are only replacing the above counter receptacle device in an existing outlet box, using a dual function Outlet Branch Circuit Arc Fault / Ground Fault receptacle device will suffice, per 2014 NEC 406.4(D)
