That would be stupid anyway.
The lanes are not standard 12' width and appear to be 10' in width. There is no room to move to the left of the lane and allow the car to go around my right side, unless the driver drives up onto the sidewalk.
That would be enough for most passenger cars if you scootch over to the left. If they're so impatient that they want to drive onto the sidewalk to keep going, that's on them.
I can't pull ahead of the white stop bar because cars making a left turn in front of me would run me over. They come pretty close as it is right now, and I'm behind the stop bar.
So, there's nowhere for me to go, except onto the adjacent sidewalk, or the adjacent lane, which would put me in a place to get plowed over by oncoming traffic.
I'm not going on the sidewalk.
Any traffic behind me will just have to wait, the same as I'm doing.
Whenever possible, I'll not only get to the center or left portion of the rightmost through lane in order to let right-turning cars pass, I'll look back and attempt to wave them through. It costs me nothing.
But there's only so much you can do with some intersections -- I think you set yourself up to look like a dick in this thread by leaving details out of your OP.
