If you only care about yourself and not the impact on others. Cheating is not a zero sum game. You are depriving others, and are committing fraud.
Perhaps the least damaging way would be to seek professional help to better yourself so you can cope with any “ill effects” you get from doing “inane, dull exercises”.
Or finding a course or career that doesn’t require you to endure activities you don’t want to do. Running your own business maybe.
