I'm not a physio and all that, but AFAIK the risks/benefits of stretching with achilles problems depends on how far the damage goes. Break-down of the tendon tissue beyond a certain point means that stretching can do more harm than good, and "slight pain" definitely sounds like a cue to avoid it. +1 for heel drops (and resting), in lieu of physio advice.

People who’ve had Achilles issues: are pins and needles and slight pain when stretching a bad sign? Should I continue to stretch or avoid it? There’s no pain running or doing calf raises.
I’m seeing my physio on Monday but wanted to see what to do before then.
