Java seek a method with specific annotation and its annotation element

Suppose I have this annotation class


@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface MethodXY {
    public int x();
    public int y();
}

public class AnnotationTest {
    @MethodXY(x=5, y=5)
    public void myMethodA(){ ... }

    @MethodXY(x=3, y=2)
    public void myMethodB(){ ... }
}

So is there a way to look into an object, "seek" out the method with the @MethodXY annotation, where its element x = 3, y = 2, and invoke it?

Thanks

    Stream<Method> stream = Arrays.stream(cla.getDeclaredMethods())
            .filter(m -> m.isAnnotationPresent(annotation));
    return methodIndex == 0 ? stream.findFirst().get() : stream.toArray(Method[]::new)[methodIndex];
