Shoebox F10 outlet foster replacement?

The male outlet foster has become progressively more and more difficult to attach and detach female foster to. I've had this happen with a couple of my more frequently used fosters, basically if I look really closely at the beveled edge of the male I can see tiny little indents from where the balls inside the female foster "lock." Eventually all those indents create a little bit of a peened edge and then the OD grows slightly and makes it harder and harder to connect and disconnect from.
So, I'm likely going to try to remove it and clean up the face of that beveled edge, but if that doesn't go well I might need a replacement. Is this a generic part/fitting that can be picked up from somewhere like McMastaer Carr? or will I soon have a dead shoebox?

The attached pics are just stock pictures. The peening on my actual foster is quite pronounced.
