In reality no, Ball has been the best so far though, needs to be conductive and magnetic, but will need to be resistant to rust.

Stainless steel or chrome plating are possible options.

Reasonable quality stainless isn't magnetic  :y

A spark eroder will do it no problem. Pop along to a local toolmaker. Takes a while but is unmanned when running so shouldn't charge too much. :y

Yep spark erosion is the answer  :y

Sure we could do it for you in our toolroom ;)
