Showing ngx-dropdowns within a table while utilizing the overflow visible property

I am experiencing an issue with the NGX dropdown menu within a scrollable table. The problem arises on the last row, where the dropdown is cut off due to the overflow being hidden by default.

To address this issue, I applied the following properties to the table-responsive class:

.table-responsive {
    overflow-x: visible !important;
    overflow-y: visible !important;
}

This fixed the appearance of the dropdown but disabled the scrolling functionality for the table:

If I remove:

 overflow-x: visible !important;

I get closer to my desired outcome, but I want the dropdown to overlap outside the container, and initially show its contents.

Is there a way to achieve a scrollable table while having the dropdown display like in the second image?

<div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-bordered table-hover">
       <div class="btn-group" dropdown>
          <button class="btn btn-link" dropdownToggle>
              <em class="fas fa-ellipsis-v fa-lg"></em>
          </button>
          <div *dropdownMenu class="dropdown-menu animated fadeInRight" role="menu">
               <a [routerLink]="['/folder/editor', row[column.name]]" class="dropdown-item">
                   <em class="fas fa-fw fa-pencil-alt mr"></em>
                   <span>View/Edit</span>
               </a>
               <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
               <a [routerLink]="" (click)="openTransferLogModal(row[column.name])" class="dropdown-item">
                    <em class="fas fa-fw fa-list-ul mr"></em>
                    <span>1</span>
                    <span>1</span>
                    <span>1</span>
                    <span>1</span>
          </div>
     </div>
<div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-bordered table-hover">

This conversation picks up where @Jacebot left off with their proposed solution.

Before I started working on the project, it was brought to my attention that the "append to body" feature of the dropdown had been removed from the code.

After adding this back in, the z-index of the dropdown ended up behind the table body.

Instead of appending to the body, I opted to append it to the table like so:

<div class="btn-group" dropdown container="table">
     <button class="btn btn-link" dropdownToggle>
          <em class="fas fa-ellipsis-v fa-lg"></em>
     </button>
