Most recently, I've ordered Grade 25 bearing balls from https://loosescrews.com/ .
Jenson stocks loose balls as well. You just have to watch out that you don't inadvertently order Grade 300. I got burned on that a few years ago.

Loose Screws, Bike Tools Etc., Jenson and many other mail order bike suppliers sell them as does Amazon through an industrial supply house. As noted specify Grade 25.
