On a 240 freehub you can push the middle spacer to the side and tap out the bearings, but I'm not able to push it to the side on this Pro hub, or am I doing something wrong?
The other option is to purchase a new freehub. The wheelset is the Pro33 that I purchased on their website 20 months ago. What's compatible out there with boost microspline?
Is Goldix compatible? Almost as cheap as replacing the bearings if it works:

I don't think is goldix compatible, did u try contact elite wheels?
Do you try with a brearing remover? Maybe this can help you out https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006577377118.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3tONV8T)

Yeah since I bought the wheels on their website and not Aliexpress I'm not sure if Goldix is compatible. Maybe DT Swiss 240?
I did contact Elitewheels and they said no more warranty, take to a bike shop or buy a new freehub. Their website charges $45 plus $30 shipping for a free hub to the USA. I was hoping their bearings would last longer than two years, one of the axle bearings went bad too but I was able to get that one out. I'll check out that bearing removal tool looks interesting.

Follow up: I did get the bearings out. The spacer sleeve on the freehub can be pushed to the side but it took some force, at first I didn't think it was possible. If you follow service directions from a DT Swiss 240 hub it's almost identical. The ratchet piece that you have to thread out wasn't too bad, I used a pipe wrench and a long pipe for leverage. Make sure you put it back in flat side out or it will bind when you put the wheel in and tighten the axle (had to to it all apart again and flip that around).
