Not sure how you are you getting requests for /.htaccess.aspx and why you want to redirect them.

However keep in mind that Apache configs usually block access to .htaccess using directive like below:

<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</FilesMatch>

That throws 403 (Forbidden) error for any request that starts with /.ht.

Workaround:

Have a custom handler for 403:

ErrorDocument 403 /errorPage403.php

and have this redirect rule:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+\.htaccess\.aspx [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /? [L,R]
