I understand—stuttering is a very frustrating disorder, and those who don't experience it will never truly understand how hard it can be to live with. One thing I've noticed is that the less a person fears stuttering and the more comfortable they become with it, the less severe it tends to get over time (this might not be universal, but it's something I've observed in many cases). I believe that developing a thick skin, along with regularly practicing reading out loud, can be beneficial in the long term. It won’t magically disappear overnight, but it's a long process. The more comfortable you become with your stutter, the better it often gets—it sounds counterintuitive, but it kind of works.
