How to use a radial gradient with a border-image

I am trying to use a border image where the source is a radial gradient. I have seen plenty of examples with images but have seen none with radial gradients.

Full example in My CodePen

#main {
  width: 200px;
  border: 8px solid red;
  padding: 10px;
  border-image:
      radial-gradient( farthest-corner, #777 50%, #7770 60%)  /* source */
      28 /                    /* slice */
      8px 8px 8px 8px /    /* width */
      4px 4px 4px 4px       /* outset */
      round;                  /* repeat */
}

I simply want to surround the box in small circles spaced a few pixels apart preferably using a CSS only solution. Though I am happy to hear other issues

You can do it with background like this:

#main {
  width: 200px;
  padding:10px;
  background: 
   radial-gradient(circle at center, #777 60%, transparent 61%) top left/10px 10px repeat-x,
   radial-gradient(circle at center, #777 60%, transparent 61%) bottom left/10px 10px repeat-x;
}
<div id="main">This element is surrounded by a radial-gradient-based border image!</div>

If you want all the sides you can do this:

#main {
  width: 200px;
  padding:13px 10px;
  background: 
   radial-gradient(circle at center, #777 60%, transparent 61%) top left/10px 10px repeat-x,
   radial-gradient(circle at center, #777 60%, transparent 61%) bottom left/10px 10px repeat-x,
   radial-gradient(circle at center, #777 60%, transparent 61%) bottom left/10px 10px repeat-y,
   radial-gradient(circle at center, #777 60%, transparent 61%) bottom right/10px 10px repeat-y;
}
<div id="main">This element is surrounded by a radial-gradient-based border image!</div>
