Is there a way to make the javelins from gloves of endless javelin finessable?

Why would you need to? Ranged attacks already use dexterity by default. What good does weapon finess do you?

 

[Genesist]

It's a melee weapon being thrown, thus doesn't it use your str modifier not dex unless finessed?

Any number of class features might benefit Weapon Finesse gear.
The Duelist or Swashbuckler, or what have you.

Nope. All ranged attack rolls use dexterity on attack rolls (unless otherwise specified, of course). Damage is still based on strength in the case of thrown weapons, but the attack roll is very much dexterity.

True. Class features definitely do skew things.

I did not realize this, never made a thrower before, thanks.

FWIW, the feat Brutal Throw lets you use Str instead of Dex for throwing weapons, in case you ever want to go that route.

Brutal Thrower (and Str based throwers in general) can be pretty effective. The Hulking Hurler is a pretty awesome route to go.

Just remember that you take a penalty if you use a javelin in melee.
