There may be a macro or better solution, but a quick way is to use random numbers to create your own sampler.

I used the record count to get the total number of lines. I created a random number for each line and used a formula to assign the size of the sample I want based on the record count. Then I sorted by the random number and assigned a new record id after the sort. A filter tool removes any id that is greater than the number of records I want.

I used the alphabet as the example input in the workflow.
