My 1st ever attempt was exactly that, it didn't work and it cost me a die, the screw driver scored the inside of the die, i still have it somewhere.
Truth be told, even a scored die (in any place other than neck or shoulder junction is most unlikely to impart a discernible or impactful marking of a case body. Trust me!

The case is still in the die
been in there for over 20 years. I drilled the head out too much and gave up with it, i think it thats what caused the uncontrolled wack with the hammer.

Just wondered.The case is still in the die
Nitric acid is a highly corrosive, strong oxidizing mineral acid used to dissolve metals like brass and copper. It acts as both a strong acid and an oxidizer, making it highly effective for metal etching, dissolving brass alloys, and oxidizing hydrogen gas to water during reactions.
It can stay put now as a reminder to lube case's "properly"
In future , get yourself a little hand die and bushing from L.E Wilson.
Can confirm this method works for 17 hornet as I’ve just bloody stuck a case 
Sod’s Law this time was lack of paying attention and using the wrong shell holder went up fine coming down was another story

You don’t need to tap the hole, steel bolt will cut its own threads in the brass
