Then lift, clean and place.
On men's day, at least on the exec courses that's what you do, I think. If your best lie with four guys hitting is a buried lie, you're not going to win anyway. I've played that tournament almost 100 times and a buried lie was never the best option.
So much in village golf is arbitrary like where the pins are tucked or the ties are placed. In The Open every option is discussed.
If you do play by all 28 rules, when worse comes to worse, you call it unplayable, take the penalty stroke, drop and move on. You'll recover, if you're any good.
