Sounds more like a joke bit for a subversion of the trope.
>"We'll know they're worthy if they can pull our sword from the stone"
>"Sure we might... IF YOU DIDN'T PUT IT IN THERE HILT FIRST!"
>Cuts to a brave knight making his attempt. His arms are out of frame when he tries, after one pull he lifts his hands into frame and looks at the bloody stumps where his fingers used to be
"Sword in stone hilt first" just seems like the deity who put it there was either angry or looking to make fun of mortals. Kind of a big fuck you to the knights trying to get it out. As if the deity is saying "Sure here's your sword, good luck getting it out asshole"
