If the LHC might make black holes, why would tiny or not so tiny black holes be potentially created with the very hot and dense core of a really big star?

The temperature in the core of the stars is not high enough for individual protons to reach the TeV energies of the LHC.
1 GeV is equivalent to $1.16x 10^{13}$ K
The hottest stars are of order of at most 50.000 K . It will be very very improbable that the tail of the distribution would have enough protons to hit enough other protons to reproduce the LHC energies.
