Or turn down the ends of your existing hex instead of using hex bearings.
I didn't really take Thunderhex seriously last year because every time I checked, the bearings were out of stock. I'm not a fan of proprietary sized bearings because they are only available from a single supplier. I usually order from FRC suppliers because they tend to be cheaper, but in a pinch, I like being able to get bearings from a local industrial supplier.

But I don't see what the obsession with hex is all about. What's wrong with a nice round keyed shaft?
