Can we put energy in to speed it up?
That way a day can be 24 hours exactly instead of 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds, etc...

Don’t follow your logic: if the day is currently shorter than 24 hours we need to slow the Earth rotation down, not speed it up.

I mean, solar day is 24h, it's the sidereal day that's 23.9344696h
