Default Should I use dynamite?

Three years ago, I had to cut down a 30 year old olive tree. It was all
burled and knurled at the foot of the truck. I must have sprayed the stump
and the regularly appearing shoots with Roundup, at least once a month. I
covered it up with dirt and a big boulder. No luck, the new shoots keep
sprouting out of the old stump.

Any suggestions for bringing about its demise, or do I give up and let this
thing grow into an olive bush?

Israelis have good luck with Palestinian olive groves by bull dozing
them or pulling them out by the roots. Go with the Pros.
