Token Service will throw an InvalidStateException if a wrong access token is used as a Bearer token for authentication and this gets translated to a 500 error response. We should be handling this correctly and return a 401 Unauthorized instead.

Ensure that we return 401 when an invalid token is presented as
the Bearer token

This has been resolved as part of the awesome work that @albertzaharovits did on refactoring the TokenService. I added a small test to catch any regressions in #45138

Re-opening this as it was prematurely closed. There is one case still that we throw a 500 - when the access token is valid but expired and deleted from the tokens index. This needs to be handled before we resolve this issue

Always return 401 for not valid tokens
331f041 
Return a 401 in all cases when a request is submitted with an
access token that we can't consume. Before this change, we would
throw a 500 when a request came in with an access token that we
had generated but was then invalidated/expired and deleted from
the tokens index.
