D&D 5E Battle Master maneuvers for any class by spending a HD

Another idea is having it actually be hp expenditure there is a magic item I recall where you spend 5 hp to gain an effect... this kind of Exertion instead of a HD would then make martial high hitpoint characters even better at maneuvers (which I think would be the desire)

A cost in hit points would create immediate risk out it which HD would not.

I'd like more action choices for characters, so something like this makes sense, but I'm not sure what exactly should be available for everyone....
 

I would like some more tactical options, too, but it seems like this would make the Martial Adept feat superfluous. And as others have pointed out, a Battlemaster Fighter only knows a few of the maneuvers; giving them to everyone, with more opportunities to use them diminishes the BMF.
