When you have a block.. break off on that conversation just to say you have a stutter. And then try to resume. Sometimes that informs people to be patient, and they may even take more initiative on ma...

Tell people about it before it happens. Introduce yourself and say something like "I have a stutter by the way, so if I start tripping over my words, that's why, just so you know. How's your day going...
