Stones in bunkers are movable obstructions (Rule 24-1).
An embedded ball can be lifted, cleaned and dropped, anywhere on the course (except of course in obstacles).

"Ready Golf"

“Ready Golf” is a recommendation made by the R&A and the French Golf Federation (and not a new rule) which has saved 12 to 20 minutes on a “normal” round at “test” events.

If the player furthest from the hole is not ready to play (for whatever reason), if the other player is ready to play, he/she must do so.
Hit a tee shot if the person with the honour is delayed in being ready to play.
Hit a shot if a person who has just played from a greenside bunker is still farthest from the hole but is delayed due to raking the bunker.
Be careful, this can be dangerous and must be done safely and responsibly.
Hit a shot before helping someone to look for a lost ball.
When a ball is easy to putt, putting out even if it means standing close to someone else’s line.
It is not necessary to mark your ball when the ball is not in the way of the other player.
Please note it is preferable to inform your golf partners. In stroke play, there are no penalties if a player plays when it is not their turn, there is no issue with the rules.
However, in matchplay, it is essential to have agreement from your opponent who is within their rights to cancel the shot that is not played in the correct order.
