To my knowledge, ADB is disabled in stock recovery. And furthermore, USB peripheral mode is disabled in the kernel. Therefore I know of know way to do anything useful with stock recovery.

If your PC has two network connections (e.g., wifi and ethernet), you can connect to the internet via VPN with one connection interface, and set the other to share your PC's connection and connect the Fire TV. For example, setup a VPN connection via Wifi on your PC, then connect the Fire TV to your PC via ethernet, and set your PC to share your wifi connection over its ethernet port.
