>> Further to Chris P above, I've seen an old clarinet where new slots had been cut into a few screws here and there- they had cut them at right angles to the original slot. Not sure if CP or any tech would recommend this, but it worked in this instance. <<
If you are conscious of waste (even a few small screws makes a difference), want to save some cost (sometimes reslotting could be cheaper than replacing the screws, depending on the situation), don't mind the screw heads not looking like new (which you shouldn't), then yes it's a viable method, regardless of whether the slot is in the same or a different orientation from the original, and as long as they are still reliable (e.g. the heads are not about to crumble from being too worn).
