Extruding at an angle, sweep doesn't seem to give the result I want

I am just doing some initial learning on Fusion and making a simple USB and SD card holder. One thing I want to do is negative extrude to make the holes at a slight angle so that the cards sit at a small 2 degree angle to make them a bit easier to pick up and read the values on them.

 

I first tried extrude, but that seemed just to do 90 degrees. I then looked here and found someone recommended a sweep following a line you draw in Sketch. I have done this in the attached document. However, it's not the best to work with; for example, it seems rigid in size. I can only size it based on the sketch line and a multiple. That is fine for the large SD cards, but I also want to use the angle for the small micro SDs I am starting to create, and the depth of those is entirely different, I ideally wish to just to use a value in mm (4.5)

 

Can anyone recommend a better solution? (Also, is there a way of creating one slot and then duplicating it easily so that anything like fillets or chamfers is kept standard between them all, and if I change one, they all change?)
