Lolol. (Unless you meant kg)... You could mount it directly to stepper shaft. But technically risk eventually wearing out motor.
Maybe a small right angle gear box. https://www.ondrivesus.com/miniature-gearboxes
You certainly don't need any significant bearings.
I would personally hose clamp tubing between the two shafts as a coupler and put little wheels/dollies/ upside down ball bearing wheels for antenna assembly.

Per the last comment he made that you replied to, this is for modeling purposes. So "just whatever" might work for a 500g dish, but it won't scale.
Just throwing that out there.
