How odd, since the official docs say you can : 
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver1.html

"Fudge Factors...stratum number...Specifies the driver stratum, in 
decimal from 0 to 15, with default 3."

And the FAQ even gives an example: 
http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-refclk.htm#Q-LOCAL-CLOCK

"server 127.127.1.1             # LCL, local clock
fudge  127.127.1.1 stratum 12   # increase stratum"

If not fudging stratum on a server, then where do you propose it's 
appropriate?
