Any reason you cant swap your pulley over to one of the single groove alternators you found?

An impact gun is your best friend for this swap.

if you dont have an impact gun take it back to where you bought it with the old alt. and have them switch the pulley over. every time ive ran into this issue the store had no problem switching it over for me.
