After removing any loose dirt or dust by brushing the nap with a soft napping brush to loosen and separate the fibres, especially on areas that have become matted with body oils, constantly moving the brush to avoid over scrubbing one spot, remove pilling carefully with a single-sided razor or battery operated fuzz remover.

Battery operated fuzz remover as TOGWT suggests, easy and safe. Are the prills due to your clothes leaving fiber on the seats or is it the alcantara that's breaking down?

it looks like the Alcantara is breaking down. I wear jeans and from what I read, that can do it. I did find a thread that suggested 1000 grit sandpaper. It seems reasonable. I'm not sure I want to try that though

I would not use an abrasive, that will only accelerate the wear. Post up some pictures of the seats and include some close ups. Once seen it will be easier to provide suggestions.
