Do you have a model you could post?
The “trick” to doing this is to place a cylinder around the model and use the cylindrical face as the drive surface. Make sure your projection vector and tool axis are correct. To get Spiral motion use the Helical cut pattern.
This is a standard technique that has been around for a long time and works well.
