Let us say XYZ is living in a place where he daily gets harassed both inside and outside his house and endless attempts are made to illicit reaction from him . For now, XYZ has no option but to put up with it.
Anyone who has been through similar situation would know that the brain has a tendency to chatter mercilessly and produce emotions that are not conducive to internal silence.
What is the best way to force and accrue silence daily in this situation?

Without knowing the details, I would say you have two options: the folk outside are engaging in pack behaviour; in that case you have to find a way to neutralize the 'top dawg' in that pack, and the rest will fold.
The 2nd option is to put up until you can get away.
Reading the material in this community, and putting in the work required will help you; but, it is really up to you and only you can ditch your self pity.
Not an advanced practitioner but well experienced with petty tyrants so i will tell you anyways IGNORE and dont take things too seriously if it aint serious have a light heart. all the traits of a warrior stalker intentionally and unintentionally will piss off a petty tyrant so in that moment the tyrant commits his/her energy focus on degrading you, while your energy is focused on infinty making them insects in your way. Time breaks the tyrants and it makes them better or worse so dont worry too much. Just try not to break their faces but if they initiate then by all means XD
DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM!!!
They're going to try to force the same situations/fights/arguments onto you, which always end the same way, in their favor. Don't engage and they'll quickly loose their power over you.
And remember, the only benefit in dealing with Petty Tyrants is to condition yourself to dealing with inorganic beings. Those things don't understand human nature enough to hurt you like family can, they tend to be one trick ponies.
By shutting the f*ck up
how much you actually want to enter into inner silence?.. because in this case you have to be in “control of yourself”, not what happens outside the house, etc...
It seems to me that the internal dialogue becomes quieter when watching the tyrant. This is no longer self-pity. I like the description of the fight against petty tyrants in the book «The Fire From Within». Don Juan returned to the tyrant who had shot him. Don Juan watched, studied, and played the pious fool.
Have enough personal power, the situation could prove very helpful, tune the spirit.
learn stalking, if you run youll find another somwhere else anyway
Inner silence isn't something that you can force. You have to allow it, sit with it, resonate with it. Calmly accept it as it is. And gently bring yourself back to it every time you realize your monkey mind has strayed again.
Reminding myself that petty tyrants are something I should remember to seek out helps me to shift perspective and see it as an opportunity rather than something to lament.
Curl your fingers when you walk as a gentle reminder of your deeper mission / purpose / goal.
