You are trying to issue the STRING "esc" with two modifier keys.

try to issue :

tell application "System Events" to keystroke character id 27 using {command down, option down}

Of course, you may define the variable esc and keystroke it :

set esc to character id 27
# …
tell application "System Events" to keystroke esc using {command down, option down}

Would this work?

keystroke escape key using {command down, option down}
