I use a similar die jig, the wall thickness is to little to keep the screws in place and to grap it by hand the diameter is also too little. To solve my problem I used a piece of plastic waterpipe and drilled holes at the position of the screws with a diameter 0.5mm smaler than the screws. Now I can grab the jig by hand up to a Diemeter between M2 to M6.
