There are a bunch of posts about this lately on this forum, with some for and against the stafford gambit, check those out. Essentially you just need to shut down that dark squared bishop. I like 5. E5 followed by 6. D4.
d3 followed by c3 is also a good option. Definitely check the other stafford posts here because some higher rated players than me lay it out more eloquently. This opening is trash for black if you know what to do as white.
