fix: catch exceptions setting Error.stackTraceLimit (#5254)

When node is run with [--frozen-intrinsics], a `TypeError` is thrown when any intrinsic objects or their properties are modified. This occurs when attempting to set `Error.stackTraceLimit`. To avoid exiting due to an uncaught exception, catch the exception, debug log it, and continue.
