It's not like people get stuck on a word for 5 or 10 minutes at a time. Deal with it. Wait the few seconds for them to finish and then treat them like anybody else. If you know the person well, then occasionally filling in the blank can be helpful and ease the tension. Stuttering comes about through tension, among other things. If you have never stuttered, you can't imagine how frustrating it is not being able to express yourself verbally. I've had adults laugh and make fun of my speech from time to time thinking it was a funny slip. I punish them by continuing to speak and let them bury themselves when they realize I have a stutter. It's kind of fun.
