AFAIK is not possible. Your only hope is copying to a new drive formatted NTFS.
I'm afraid so. Try copying to several external external smaller disks, reformat your 4TB to NTFS and copy back.

I think it will work in trial mode for 15 or 30 days. It will allow you to use your mac to write back your data to your newly formatted NTFS disk
