Alternatively … Drill them on the milling machine [or even the drill, if it's really good]; clamped between two pates, each with a bored hole about 2/3 of the ball diameter.

I drilled the annealed bearing ball that I used on the governor of the Stuart Turner S9. I held the balls in the 3 jaw chuck on the lathe, and drilled them with a HSS drill.
