Say someone is aggressively getting in your face but doesn't touch you, and they say "hit me you little bitch".

Can you legally hit them first?

If they're threatening you then you can strike first. You don't have to wait until you get hurt to act in self defense. Have you not paid attention to how often people shoot other people in self defense without having been hurt first, only to get away with it because they had reason to believe they were at risk of being harmed?

Thats a trap.

Bht since they didnt specify when I walk away before they can retract the request. Then later when they arent suspecting anything I hit them with a forehand smash or something.

When they say "hit me", you make a mom joke so that they swing first.

Legally, no.
Words alone will not provide just cause in that case.

Many impulsive people have found this out the hard way.

It's different if the provoker is also threatening with violent intent while taunting you. But even then, that's only because they were the first to attempt assault. You can argue that the taunting made you feel endangered enough to make physical contact first, but it's a sketchy defense at best. You have to prove you had valid reason to attack first in order to protect yourself. That can be muddy water to tread through...

Yes. Legally, you can beat the shit out of them.
They cannot egg it on and sue you afterwards. That's entrapment.
