Are there any additional credits or co-curricular activities I can do to increase my credit points for eligibility in Germany for a Bachelor's/Master's?

No, extra credits or co-curricular activities outside your Bachelor's degree do not increase your official credit points for Master's eligibility in Germany. Admission is mainly based on your recognized academic credits (typically 180 - 240 ECTS) earned during your degree.
However, co-curricular activities, internships, or certifications can strengthen your application by highlighting relevant skills and motivation, but they cannot substitute for formal credit requirements.
