If the interface is public in an exported package (no need for the 
package to be open) then the proxy will be generated into the unnamed 
module. So easy to get a Lookup to the proxy class and you can use this 
as the special caller. Can you change your invocation handler to the 
following and try it:

Class<?> proxyClass = proxy.getClass();
Main.class.getModule().addReads(proxyClass.getModule());
Lookup lookup = MethodHandles.privateLookupIn(proxyClass, 
MethodHandles.lookup());
MethodType mt = MethodType.methodType(String.class);
return lookup.findSpecial(iface, "foo", mt, 
proxyClass).bindTo(proxy).invokeWithArguments();
