Ball fell off my z axis linear bearing

After I inserted the x-axis on the Z rods two balls fell off. One of the bearings had strange scratched markings externally, not sure if it was that one that failed.

I removed the bearings and tried to look with a magnifier to try to spot the faulty one, but it is really hard and I am unsure which one it is!

Now what? wait until I buy 4 more and replace them all?

Does it really matter?

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated.
