The bearings were gritty because some pieces from the part had cracked off and was rolling around in there, and broke further when I was taking it out.
Any easy way of servicing the screw on freehub? Or is it like a shimano square taper bottom bracket and it basically never dies?

The are a single spare part unit, practically impossible to service. They last well if kept dry but can easily be killed if put up wet.

Part number 32E0300 is common to FH-7403, FH-6401/2, FH-1055/6, FH-M650, FH-M732, FH-MT62 and probably several other Shimano hubs of that era, so there are plenty of donor candidates if you can't find it as spare, although if what you're using works there's no point spending time and money making it "original"
No, it will always be cheaper and better to sell the rear and buy a front.
