I accomplished the lowering of the internal die profile, by buying two new trim dies.
Next, I took the second new trim die, cut off the side mounted arms, and chucking it in my lathe, turned it to a diameter so as to have a sliding, interference fit inside the first, bored out trim die.

Edgar, great thinking you did there but I was confused by your use of the term
trim die. Perhaps I'm wrong, but should that have said
crimp die instead?
I'm prepared to be scolded in the event that I am wrong.
