"A Dozen" literally means "12". They are interchangeable in every context, even if it sound odd for phrases we are used to. The movie, "The Dirty 12"? "Ocean's Dozen"?

12 is a counting number, an integer. Fewer than 12. Fewer than a dozen. To be precisely correct. Even so, there will be time 'less than' sounds ok. "I'm less than a dozen miles from home, please turn the lights on."
