Yup.

Just pay the points. Any aptitudes that goes above 5 costs double the 
amount, so to raise a 5 to a 6 would cost 12 bounty points.
Note that hexes are no longer individual skills, but use the general skill 
of Hexslinging.  Hexslinging is raised just like any other aptitude.

The 5 grit cap is a later rule then H&H.  Disregard the H&H grit limit and 
use the bad guys at an appropriate time after the party has reached 5 grit.
