If the pedestrian is crossing your exit, you wait by your exit until they are clear.
Most pedestrians will try crossing when they are sure nobody is about to enter, but obviously that is never a guarantee, and pedestrians have right of way.
you shouldn’t be navigating a roundabout at such a speed where you cannot stop, so coming to a gentle stop to let them pass shouldn’t be an issue.
The only roundabout hereabouts replaced a 4 way stop in a residential area. Little thing, one lane. So if I stop to wait for a pedestrian, the person behind me who’s planning on continuing around to another exit will have to stop too. Which, given that the whole point of a roundabout is not to stop, they will not be expecting. I will get honked at and/or rear-ended, depending what they’re doing on their phone. I think I’ll circle around until it’s safe.
While the purpose of a roundabout is better flow, pedestrians have right of way and if you’d rather get dizzy than make someone behind you wait 5 seconds and get honked at, go for it!
You enter the roundabout normally.

Taking a lap is also an option.
