Major misaligned dies of the anvil die are quite rare because the neck of the anvil die is surrounded by the collar. This restrains any significant lateral movement. The only time a major lateral shift can occur is when the collar + anvil die breaks loose or the collar breaks apart, freeing the anvil die from its grip.
Very minor misalignments of the anvil die can occur but can be no greater than the amount of room between the die neck and collar.
