Do we call dead ball and award all runners 1 base at the TOP, or is this just considered "temporarily stuck" and we play on?

In your own words, the ball was "stuck". Lodged, wedged, not free to roam on it's own, hanging on for dear life, lonely in a world of its own, or any other thing you want to call it.
Dead Ball, all runners 1 base award.
No semantics involved. If the ball is restricted from free movement, ITS STUCK, kill it, save yourself any arguments and move on.
This applies to anywhere on the field.
