It looks like McMaster Carr still stocks loose bearings in grade 25:

Is their web site not up to date? Or is it just that their search tool is not particularly helpful?
McMaster Carr has been my source of assorted weird stuff, such as the threaded aluminum rod that I used in a LED headlight, so I'd be surprised to learn that they didn't carry something as conventional as loose ball bearings.
