Somehow I think if I just made a female die out of

I'd end up with something either ripped or wrinkled.

So: How? Or, what terms should I be searching on?

I made some CPU water cooled heatsinks using wood male and female
dies. But I was using copper , not steel. Had no problems with
wrinkles or ripping. It was a while ago. I think I may have used a
three part die. A female die, A flat plate that clamped onto the
female die that held the copper to the female die. The flat plate
would have a hole for the mail die to go through. That would give you
a part with a flange on it that you would probably want to remove.

Here's a cheap dapping block set, might work on steel if it is thinish
and mild:
