A Google search should have revealed the aptly titled paper "On Atomistic
and Coarse-Grained Models for C60 Fullerene" by Luca Monticelli (
https://doi.org/10.1021/ct3000102 ).

You can produce parameters consistent with the CHARMM General Force Field
using: https://cgenff.umaryland.edu/
It gives the warning "typer WARNING: fullerene-like structure not
explicitly supported"; however, I'm not convinced that the parameters are
any worse than your other options.
