Wow, did i get it right? Ceramic rollers in bearings won't work, baacuse the rollers are too hard. Well, maybe he shouldn't use that cheap chinese stuff.

Did anybody think about to seal the tube volume directly behind the roller bearing? For example glue in a aluminium peace with the same diameter the inner tube has. If there is no underpressure, no oil will be sucked in.

Or you park your car always at a hill with the nose down. So the oil level is below the bearing.
