Ones that small a shovel you should be able to cut through the roots and dig out.You said 1/2 inch to 2 inch diameter.Those are really small.If you had something big like a full blown tree stump you could put a chain around it with a truck and pull it out or just rent a stump grinder and use it for mulch.
