I've got a similar thing for trimming feet.
That one is so cheap I'd be surprised if it is much good but who knows?
Hard to tell from the photo but it looks Plastic?

I'm assuming some kind of cheap unknownium but I hadn't considered plastic. The details claim titanium and carbide steel.
I just found this on AliExpress:

ive got one, courtesy of my father who absolutely must buy every new thing he sees...used it a few times but to be honest im not into wood working in the slightest so it was just to shave some clearance into stuff...one thing to note...they are grippy...keep a firm hold of it or it will run away and take you with it...tht said, they do remove a fair bit of material, better than i expected. mine must be a bit off balance though as it has a very slight vibration that makes your fingers tingle after 10 mins use
I was wondering whether I could use it to attack an oak tree stump that has been getting in the way of my lawn mower for the last 10 years.

How big is the stump? Get a picture up.
If its a baby, then a sharp pickaxe will shift it quickest.
Anything larger and you will want to either hire a stump grinder, section it with careful use of a chainsaw, or winch it out with some other very solid anchor point.
The tiny angle grinder attachement will take forever. A high risk of kickback with not being very far from the cutter - theres often metal, stones, fenching bits and rubbish around and in a stump.
The rasp style teeth will be slow. They do make them with large carbide teeth, it could possibly work on the end of a 52cc brushcutter but would still be slow work!
Drill some air holes and burn it, is another option.
Maybe 500mm diameter
Burning it's not an option due to the location and a stump grinder is similarly impractical. I've had a go at it with a chainsaw a few times over the last few years but it is as hard as rock and I don't want to bury my chainsaw into the dirt.

They make small stump grinders to go through houses also also theres chainsaw attachment types like this
If you use chainsaw, keep the teeth in the wood. First I would dig around the main roots and carefully sever them. Next I would noodle vertically through the stump to make sections 6-18" deep with a cheap chain. A wedge and sledge hammer will break up the sections if you have gone deep enough.

Masonry chainsaws are usually diamond tipped. We used to have them at work but we banned them after a guy on a rival company got a kick-back that sent the chain into his face.

Google cluster blades, they are made for this type of work. They self sharpen by reversing/flipping the blade, you can get small ones for angle grinders. We use them for cutting out roots and cutting used sleepers. They can handle dirt and stones.

Problem is it's on a sliver of ground between a wall and hedge that means the mower has to go over to get to another part of the garden.

Are you sure you couldn't make a cup shaped hollow in the middle of it? Put some "fuel" in the cup and light it? Surely this would burn it out from the middle, might take a number of goes I think?

Masonry chainsaws are usually used by firefighters over here or mounted on a jig to cut dividing walls before moving them somewhere else
Maybe, but very close to my hedge and the opposite side is my neighbours timber shed and a patio.

There are nomal chainsaw chains with carbide teeth. A little more expensive and have mixed reviews. They will be fine in dirt but I would expect hitting stone to ruin them very fast.
Mini chainsaw stump cutter ( there are much cheaper ones, thats the first I saw)
Its a shame to ban a tool because it was being used wrong, dangerous kickback is very much from incorrect use.
