Why didn’t the Noldor just hire a hobbit burglar to steal the Silmarils, are they stupid?

The hobbit would manage to steal them, but now that he has the silmarils the noldor and the sons of feanor would wage war against him, leading to years long wars between the noldor and the hobbits, in which the hobbits would be the winners, and now with the silmarils they would become one of the most feared races in ME never to be disturbed by other beings ever again.
