I'm a native speaker, and had to google to see what a stative verb is. I believe 'worry' is frequently a stative verb, but not always.

Worry" isn't a stative verb that can't be used in the continuous tenses. But we usually use the past participle "worried" as an adjective along with a form of "be."
