It's not clear that they can't recreate Clementine's stilettos. Just that such wasn't done.

Yggdrasil must have stilettos or Ainz would be unable to wield them seriously without simply dropping them as he could not possibly have the required proficiencies. Also, it would be silly for such a commonly infamous weapon to not be implemented.

Clementine's stilettos require a caster to enchant them for each use, thus they would be of very limited use in Yggdrasil, since they require warrior skills to use them to maximum potential but need a caster to recharge them after every use. It makes more sense to just have a vangard and back-liner on the team working together.

It would be more likely in Yggdrasil that one would have such a stored spell on something a caster could wear and use it to quickly apply a sequence of defensive buffs as a single action. This would still probably be a sub-par item compared to some other possible equipment that could take its place.

Still, while it might have been possible but unlikely except as a 'joke' equipment, there is no definite reason that it would be possible. D&D features items (including weapons) that can be charged with spells, and spells that can be cast on weapons to give them temporary damage boosts, but while Yggdrasil seems significantly informed by D&D it is clearly not identical.

But given the emphasis on having lots of things you could do, I think the most likely explanation is that it wasn't a thing that would normally be worth doing.

The ability of New World methods of enchantment to accomplish this without the need for exotic materials or Data Crystals could shift that equation. Ainz is definitely interested in ways to make weapons that may be inferior to what can by made but Yggdrasil methods, but doesn't use Yggdrasil materials that he cannot replenish.
