    J.I. Morris Company might have what you are looking for. It would
    also appear from your description that you want to cut non-standard
    thread pitch for advancing the screw further with less number of
    turns. They have services for custom work also.

    If I were looking at such a process, then I would probably try
    serrated plates held in parallel, with just enough space between the
    plates to roll the thread onto the wire.
