So I essentially want little tokens with numbers on them (several sets of 1 through 10 ideally) to lay on the bases of the miniatures.
So in other words I can have Orc 1, Orc 2, Orc 3, Orc 4, etc. I don't want to glue them or anything; just lay them on or near the bases, so they'll need to be on the smaller side.
Surprisingly, I've been unable to find these. Any suggestions on where I can buy them?

Blood Frenzy. The quipper has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage.
Have you considered rings you could drape on the minis like necklaces that have like flags of tape with the number on it. Not as elegant as numbers on the base, but still attaches numbers to the enemies.
A bigger commitment, but a closer solution to your original vision might be put new bases on the minis. Metal ones. Then you could stick numbered magnets to the bases.

Yeah, the thing is the miniatures aren't mine.
And I'm really just looking for numbered tokens about the size of a pencil eraser's diameter. Just shocked I can't find them.

check at walmart or one of the hobby stores in their bead sections for kids, you can usually find either numbers or letters. My group has letters on metal key ring circles that we drape over the minis.

That's exactly what I'm looking for! Great idea. Thanks.

no problem, in Walmart it is more in the kids crafting area. In the hobby stores in the kids crafting section. Hope you find something that works for you.
As an alternative: when I was printing my own pawns (like those sold for Pathfinder), I found that for a small number of miniatures it looked and felt a lot better to use color-coding instead of number. That is, instead of attacking ghoul #2, I attack the blue ghoul. In order to use such color-coding with already-existing miniatures, you could use tiny rubber bands that are usually sold in toy stores (I think they're called loom bands).
The main disadvantage with color coding opponents is that you quickly run out of colors that can be easily distinguished, after about nine or ten (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, brown, maybe grey). After that, you need to go into various shades, and you don't want to have to distinguish between the azure and teal.
I use quarters with colored stickers (so with 4 quarters- one with 1 red sticker, one with2, one with with3, etc…..then the same with blue, yellow, green. It’s easy to say ‘green are goblins and blue are kobolds….or something like that.
metal bolt washers work very well too…but then you have buy them.

What about getting poker chips, and then just drawing on them with a marker? That might work if they are large enough, relative to the minis.

Stainless steel blank stamping pendants work, and you can write on them with wet erase markers .
