If the hiring team had that impression, that impression already exists. Your withdrawing your application will not change that impression. The interviewers will still think what they think. That ship has sailed. If the interview team did not have that impression and you withdraw your application, you could cost yourself an opportunity. Your post (and, more specifically, the fact that you are considering withdrawing your application) reminds me strongly of a type of anxiety that I used to struggle with - specifically, fixating on trying to control how others perceive me. Do you ever feel like you cannot stop thinking about what others think of you and/or other anxieties? I have often felt this way and I remember how painful it is. Not being able to tear my mind away from worrying about others' perceptions led to me make poor choices in an attempt to regain control over others' perceptions. Those poor choices were infinitely more damaging to me than whatever judgment I was trying to escape, although didn't feel that way at the time. I wonder if, at the core, your motivation to withdraw your application is really an driven by a desire to disengage from these sorts of worries and/or regain control over the situation by either removing the need for the hiring team to judge you (since you would no longer be an applicant) or by eliminating the prospect of your fears being "confirmed" through a rejection.  If you relate to any of this, please know that you do not have to live this way. Life is so much sweeter without all the worry. Mindfulness-based CBT (a type of therapy) helped me learn how to gain control over my thoughts. The really tricky part was deciding to take control, because I felt very strongly that my anxiety was protecting me from disastrous outcomes. Therapy also helped me feel safe making that leap, although it took longer than learning mindfulness skills.  I do want to highlight that I recognize having a condition that tends to garner negative perceptions makes all of this more complicated - because you are right, there are shitty people who will not give you a chance due to your fluency. I do not have a stutter but I sub here because I have another type of speech impediment that attracts negative perceptions and I find a lot of content here relatable. I want to emphasize that I am not responding this way because you are aware some people may treat you differently because you have a stutter. I am specifically concerned that your reaction is to withdraw your application - that strikes me as an illogical, panic-driven decision. The fact that you are positing about it on reddit is another indicator - reminds me of my own experience with analysis paralysis. I wish you all the best!
