I'm thinking if I ordered a standard #12 or #14 screw, and asked them just
to set the machine to cut a little deeper, I'd get the screw I wanted....


I'm guessing that you know that most production screws are rolled not
cut.

Any ideas on who might do this?
You might find a job shop that has a swiss screw machine that could do
it. It may be similar to the threads of bone screws.
