What you are trying to do requires machine tools not a diestock and a die. At

A milling machine to cut screw heads? Seems like overkill!
Broaching attachments that can cut - for example - hexagonal allen key holes in screw heads are an altogether simpler and cheaper solution.

A hacksaw/needle file is cheapest but a bargain basement chinese mill with a
slitting saw is a damn sight cheaper and quicker for a slotted screw head than
buying a press, building a suitable fixture and making a broach
