Best way in vanilla is to get better gear. There's no 3x3, but enchanted shovels can mine died instantly, clearing it out like tall grass.
Another trick you can do with cobblestone specifically is lava-casting. Get a bucket of lava, let it flow where you want cobble, Abe then pour water on it. Just make sure you pick up the lava source block right before so it doesn't become obsidian.
You know you can make a cobble generator without the risk of turning lava into obsidian. Great way to afk-mine but slower than mining natural smooth stone
Lava-casting is when you mix the lava and water where you already want the cobble, not just making it to mine it.
It's faster if you don't already have chests of cobble, you just have to clean up a bit, although since your placement changes depending on what you're making, it's pretty easy to mess up and get an obsidian block.
Also you can just generate smooth stone by dropping lava on water, then push it out via piston, so cobble mining is faster than traditional mining just to get cobblestone.
