To me, the real "trouble" with the new Zocchi dice are the d7, d14 and d16. These dice, if you try to use something like a d8 or d20, can cause you to re-roll results over their max.
That's bad.
All the other "weird" dice like d3, d5, d16, d24 can be easily simulated by rolling and halving or rolling with a "control die."
So, here's a spreadsheet that I threw together. It's got a bunch of RANDBETWEENS in it. Just print it off anew each session (refresh the calculations) and use the numbers in order as the rolls are called for. Easy enough for a game.

I had a half-premonition this was coming from you, Jim. I thought this afternoon it would be a redux of the Judges Guild chart for d7, d14, etc., but this definitely cuts to the chase. Good job!
I would also suggest the hamete dice server at http://dicelog.com/dice. You can throw in 1d whatever, and it will generate a number.
