The goal of removing the try/catch from HexFormat can be solved locally by creating a private method in HexFormat that swallows the exception. There is no need to add a method to Java Lang Access or change 3 other files.
The method `newStringUTF8NoRepl` is different, it can/does throw runtime exceptions but there is no need for try/catch in that case, no change is needed there.
