This will not work if your dirt is rocky.
Dig loose dirt around stump, try to get a kinda deep hole near the tree. Go to a boating supply store, get a manual sump pump. Or order it online, not expensive. Get a hose, put a nozzle sprayer on it.
Hose the dirt around the roots to a soup, suck it out with the hand pump.
Cut the exposed roots with the chain saw. Works on small stumps like that.

I have used a big wet/dry shop vac to dig dirt/sand and small rocks
no or less need to wet the dirt to soup
just loosen it a bit and suck it out
branch clippers to get the smaller roots
saws-all for the bigger ones
digging bar helps also
