Have a chat to a stamp maker. I'm sure you aren't the first person to want a metal stamp and certainly won't be the last. A laser cutter will be able to do what you want, but they are restricted by the width of the cutting "beam", which in the cases I've seen is actually quite wide, something in the area of 1mm.
Worst case scenario is you will need to go to a jeweller.

So something like a branding iron onto leather. (or forehead[1]) :^) Of course, if you're using a laser, you could use that direct on end material to produce code. But maybe you want to sell the stamp to ppl without a laser.
