It's very simple--a bearing that wears out if it's fished that lightly is a crap bearing to start with.
Bearings come in various grades. If the bearing is easily removeable, have your friend take it to a transmission shop so they can size it and sell him a quality one.
Early VS reels had the bearing held in by an easily removeable snap ring--YMMV with the new ones.
