[Wien] Fe slab

I am trying to do spin-polarized slab calculation on Fe(001). It runs 
ok, but does not converge (fluctuates) after 40 iterations. I tried with 
up 1000 k-points (21x21x2 - I guess its already too much), 0.05 mixing 
factor, and both PBE(96) and W-C(06) GGAs. Other settings default, 
spin-polarized calculation right away.

Which parameters should I try to change next ?

Struct file below.
