My drill bit is stuck in a large tree stump that had been cut close to the ground
SOURCE: makita 6222D hole drill bit is stuck
When this happened to me I held the shaft of the drill bit tightly with my hand and reversed the direction of drive for an instant. It released at that point. It still does that occassionally though.

Is the bit vertical or horizontal?
Good question. The bit is at a slant.
Preparing stump (Tree that was cut down to 3 to 4" above ground level) for decomposing with 1" size holes from bit to pour Stump Killer ingredient so that the roots will die off. Each slanted hole in the side of the stump meets with the holes at top. I learned that Grinding stumps does Not kill roots.
Today I went to a Home Depot/Lowe's and tried more powerful drills. Finally I went to rent an industrial drill. But they didn't have one to rent. The one on the shelf was $399. Sales guy suggested I get a large ((monkey wrench)) to grip the back of the bit that is sticking out of the stump and PVC pipe with elbow to turn it. It's a slow process but I've been turning it with just the monkey wrench alone. And I'm a girl. I'll finish tomorrow.
