vs
0.555555554

First one's longer because it has more digits.
Second is larger, numerically, but that's boring.

In other words, I was proposing it from the perspective of "The die must be able to accomodate all the digits of ∞ on its surface so the roller can read the results."
A result with sufficient length would possibly be suitable to bonk one another with.
If it is only whole numbers (1,2,3,4,etc.), then it can, but if it also includes all the real numbers(0.1,0.01,0.001,0.0....001, etc), then it is impossible.

There are more real numbers between 0 and 1 than there are whole numbers from 0 to positive infinity.
