How about using a solve block?

In case of your data the centre of the sphere is exactly the origin.
You can increase the precision by setting something like CTOL:=10^-8

Just type in the solve block and throw in the coordinates you are interested in.

Note that the exact expression of the center is large, in full it is:

With another set of points, you may get:
