If it was mine I would stick it in my lathe, bore it out & fit an oilite bush, from bearing boys.
Fairly cheap to do as oilite bushes are not expensive. Just takes a bit of time searching through their clunky website for the correct bore, Oa diameter & length The bush, would be about £3 plus delivery
'
It does not spin fast so the OP could buy a drill bit with interference fit & drill & press fit an oilite bush himself very easily & save a lot of money

If I went down the SS route I would buy a 5.25 inch disc from M machines ( not a square) & just turn it on my lathe.
Other plastics or materials are generally too expensive & are not really warranted
