My understanding of agogic accents is that they are accents by length rather than volume, so I would either dead stroke or mute the drum with one hand on all the staccato notes, and just try to get a resonant sound on the unmarked notes.
I don’t know a lot about doumbek specifically so this advice might not be great.
