If you can widen the answers the people can give you could first determine the distribution of a larger width (i.e., pick a number from 1 to 100) then map those

If you can widen the answers the people can give you could first determine the distribution of a larger width (i.e., pick a number from 1 to 100) then map those to the 1-10 distribution based on their frequency. This is effectively the same as the person proposing sampling tuples.
