I'm also waiting to grow out of mine :) For me it's worst when talking about something I'm passionate about to a party that may have an opposing view.
The thing that has worked best for me is acceptance. It gets worse when I try to hide it. When I start a conversation I even fake stutter a bit, so periods of real disfluency don't seem as bad in comparison. When I do have a particularly bad moment of disfluency, I just tell the other person that I have a speech impediment, in a humorous way if possible. Being open about it makes things better for both parties. Then you can focus on the content of what you're saying, with less anxiety about the delivery.
For those really bad days, you can use AirPods with a DAF app, though I've yet to try it myself since it goes against the acceptance approach.
