Answer 1

The best solution is to override the click functionality:

public void _click(WebElement element){
    boolean flag = false;
    while(true) {
        try{
            element.click();
            flag=true;
        }
        catch (Exception e){
            flag = false;
        }
        if(flag)
        {
            try{
                element.click();
            }
            catch (Exception e){
                System.out.printf("Element: " +element+ " has beed clicked, Selenium exception triggered: " + e.getMessage());
            }
            break;
        }
    }
}
