Interesting!! It is not as hard is you might think though.

You need a spiral toolpath with axis conversion through a point. I have done an example that assumes you know how to draw in Alphacam but let me know if you need help with drawing the sphere and geometries.

Then there is a few adjustments and fine tuning to make like adding retractions for the C axis to unwind the limits, this is only needed on the top toolpath though. Rapids manager could be handy for orientating from plane to plane without crashing through the part!
