:

but I would need to know what alloy will be bendable with some
manageable force, and yet have good strength and decent springyness
after being bent to shape.

Consider an annealed wire which you could harden after forming.

Like rod stock? *Where would I find rod stock that small?

Hardware store? Both the local Aces and True Values carry onesies of
stainless rod/wire from 1/16" to about 3/8". Ditto hobby shops.
Brass wire/rod and music wire from the same sources. The borgs
probably won't have it that small. Otherwise Enco/MSC/Grainger.
