I had 4 50' monsters cut down (they were diseased) and the instructions from
the feller fella were to drill a few holes in the stump (near the
circumference) and fill them with neat glyphosate.

Later, if you don't have the stump ground out, drill more holes (1"D,
n"deep) and fill them with fertiliser to speed the rotting.

'Root Out', from all good garden centres. It's a stump killer,
contains ammonium sulphamate. Drill several holes in the top of the
stump, tip in solid 'Root Out', then cover the stump to protect from
rain. The stuff is slowly absorbed and it penetrates down to the roots
and kills it.
