Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

From Shimano's Tech Documents it appears the bearings are standard 1/4" balls in simple retainers. As techsensei suggested, why not just press the old balls out of the retainers and replace them with new ones. There is no reason to replace the retainers themselves.
