>Iambic pentameter is a poetic rhythm of ten syllables per line, where each line consists of five pairs of unstressed followed by stressed syllables (da-DUM)
I don't know if im just retarded but cant you just make any syllable stressed or unstressed depending on what you want at the time, am I misunderstanding what stressed means?

The vowel becomes reduced as a result of the stress change
