The stock cooler comes with a layer of paste pre-applied. Just use it, it works perfectly fine

If it's new, that's pre-applied thermal paste and not a pad.

I have the Ryzen 5 3600 and the stock AMD Stealth cooler. The cooler has a thermal pad on it as far as i can tell. Should i remove that and put thermal paste on or will the pad be fine?

As others have said, if the stock cooler is new - that is a pre-applied thermal paste.  You can just install it with no worries.  There is no need to remove that paste and apply any other paste.
