Default Repair outside sillcock/spigot?

the faucet is leaking from where the shaft goes into the faucet. In the past I have tightened the small nut just under the faucet handle. This has worked but now seems to be at it's limit. Do I just remove the small hex nut and replace what ever is inside?

The faucet is in a stucco wall and the only part exposed is the spigot only. It appears to me that to replace the faucet I will have to dig out quite a bit of stucco.

So I am hoping it can be a DIY repair.

Let me know what you know about repairing. Thanx.
