I accepted an offer for a "safe" job because of this uncertain job market, but now I have major regrets after digging into their internal culture. I haven't started there yet, but my instinct is telling me it's a bad move. How do I professionally decline an offer I already accepted?

Do you have any other options on the table right now? If not, why not just see it through and form your own opinion first? You never know, especially if it’s a large company, culture differs widely between various groups/teams/projects.

It's better to scratch for jobs while you have a job than when you do not have a job

Give it a go, you never know until you are actually there. If you received a better offer, then please accept the better offer and politely decline the previously accepted offer.
