I would suggest offsetting the edges of the surface on the surface, create a new surface from those offsets, then reparameterize the surface and use it to create the UV sphere.

If you are asking advice I'll give it: this solution does not need to be coded. In fact the coded version of this task is quite tedious. See the attached GH and give it a try with your surface.
