People don't usually change the name of the number when working in different basis so you would in fact just say "ten". If the actual representation was important you would say "one, zero, one, zero". I don't think people would say one thousand and ten as the word thousand is more about the actual number than the string "1000".

You can use other round quantity when working on other basis, like a dozen or a gross in base twelve.
