16T idlers keep failing

After swapping the X and Y idlers to 16T I was having great results, but I've now had to replace the Y once after the tiny bearing disintegrated, and now the X started clicking/sticking and looks like the bolt ended up threading the inside of the bearing after a while.

Anyone found a quality source for these? I just grabbed a set off amazon. Wondering if its worth getting a bolt thats only threaded at the end?

If you decide to replace the bearings instead, this is a terrific source..
