I've only ever used the Pi as a player, not a server. What I can confirm
is that the quality of the built-in audio output is pretty poor.
Distortion and noise are unacceptable. I use mine with a Muse PCM2704
USB-to-SPDIF converter feeding an old QED Digit DAC, and it works fine
that way.

You mention stuttering as well as distortion. If it is genuinely
dropping samples then perhaps it's simply a case of the Pi running out
of steam when you try to run LMS and Squeezelite together? The Pi is a
very low power device, after all. One way to check this would be to try
shutting down LMS on the Pi and trying it as just a Squeezelite player
from another LMS on your network.
