If you accidentally hit a zombie piglin, the best course of action is to leave the area immediately and wait for a while before returning, as they can forget past aggression and become neutral again after some time. This can be achieved by going far away from them and staying away for a few minutes, or by exiting and re-entering the Nether, allowing them to reset their aggression towards you.
