Train up an army of legendary siege operators on catapults.

Build stone floors on the paths underground

I make a 1x1 tile garbage zone (press "i" to make a zone) on each level, near the central stairs or ramp spiral.  If I have a temporary hauler excess, I use mass-designate (d-b-d) to dump excess stone from a few rooms.

Another possibility is to use "profile" on your mason's workshop to assure that only your mason is building stuff in the workshop, and make all of your haulers masons as well.  If you do this, you can build enormous structures out of stone very quickly, using up the stone in the process.

Train legendary stonecrafters, masons, and mechanics.

I just have my masons turn them into blocks constantly, for the massive tower I'm making. Blocks > rough stone.

Stone mugs. Just as worthless, but traders will take buckets of them and give you things you actually want, such as barrels, food, drink, wood, metal, and cloth/thread. For an added laugh, get a green glass industry going, and encrust your rock mugs with green glass. As I've seen it described, you're then trading "worthless stone cups with bits of broken beer bottles glued to them." Plus it trains your jewelers.

Remember that you can also hide the stones with d-b-h abd don't have to worry about them cosmetically. I prefer my fortresses to at least look clean.

Set up Catapults dropping stones into a channel. No further input necessary. Having legendary siege operators is a plus.
