Has there ever been a game that would take points away based on a shot or some other ball action?

The closest thing I can think of off-hand is how you can lose big points by wagering on the roulette in Who Dunnit...

Somebody made new code for Blackjack that I believe causes you to lose points when you lose a hand. Not official though.

I’m pretty sure that on Williams Time Fantasy if you go around the mushroom shot the wrong way you lose points on your bonus or you lower your bonus value. Can’t recall exactly.
Quoted from Dayhuff:The first one that comes to mind is Gottliebs James Bond, that would take off five seconds when the ball drained. There's another one but I can't recall at the moment.

It was something about a clock..., like "Stop and Go"? or Magic Clock??

I seem to recollect that Vegas (Premier/Gottlieb, 1990) had a "Double or Nothing" choice--for your entire game score--that sometimes came up at the left saucer/scoop. Think it was on the lit Select-A-Feature shot at same.
But yeah - it's a head-scratchier to try and remember a game with an actual "minus points" target of some sort....the only really negative target I can recall would be the little "open zipper flippers" bumpers on Fireball and One Million B.C.

If you go the wrong way in the mushroom loop it just decreases the value of the loop shot...it doesn't reduce your score or accumulated bonus.
