Or replace the whole bottom bracket.
races, balls and spindle were totally cleaned out and grease replaced. All looked solid and shiny to my eye after a cleaning. I packed the cups with grease and then placed the balls/cages into them with the balls facing inward. Then I put a little more grease around the backside of the balls.
