When I was in school back at the turn of the century haha if I had to do an oral presentation. I'd tell my mates I'm gonna use my stutter to pad out my speech time. I knew I'd stutter worse being in front of the class. But it just took a bit of the sting of embarrassment out of my stutter. I knew my mates accepted me with my stutter anyway but they were on my side when I stuttered more during my speech. It definitely made me more relaxed and more fluent for the presentation.
