1) you try looking at the saved matrices like e(b) and e(V) and get
their column names (local regressors : mat colnames e(b), if that does
not work, save e(b) to a temporary matrix first)

2) you should run your models as

cap noi logit whatever
local myrc = _rc
post topost (`myrc') (_b[]) ... (_b[]) // in generic form
if `myrc' {
  continue, break
}

just in case there is extra work on the estimation results. Posting
_b[] should be safe, but you may consider posting missing values
instead.

3) of course you are aware of the detrimental consequences of multiple
testing and will be applying a Bonferroni correction or FDR (false
discovery rates) to your p-values.
