Interesting. I don’t use filler words. If I feel a hard block coming on, I just pause, breathe in, gently breathe out and use a soft onset into the word. Most of the time that helps. I find trying to force the word out only results in further blocking, frustration and heightened adrenaline/heart rate etc.. not a good thing!
