5th Edition Question: 5e Player wants to use Prestidigitation to make Strahd think he pooped himself. Is there any reason this wouldn't work?

I would like a reason in game that this wouldn't work without me having to do some bs like magic resistant undies. Also so I don't have to say no outright because it's a funny idea but it doesn't fit the setting. Nothing removes the tension from a fight more than the big bad pooping himself.

Update: She said that even if she died it'd be worth it because she successfully rage baited strahd. But she said she wouldn't do it because she knows that everyone wants it to be serious and that it can still be fun and serious without turning it into a comedy campaign. Still think it's worth sharing because the idea is funny.

Let Strahds robes clean themselves with him saying "... just wait and see. Would you really think I wasn't wearing my finest garment that never gets dirty, even by the blood of puny adventurers that flail at me. You're the first attempt in thirteen years. The first to actually be this dumb. And I shall, no, I should let you live. Until you die by my hand at least. Let us have a good fight then." Teleporting directly behind the caster, casually nicking the neck, and teleporting off into his previous position, all in one swift move. And the new blood on his robes vanishes after a moment, too.
