It may not be that easy to fix because of the sorting algorithm. That
would require looking going ahead one more event each time and then
checking if its a stacktrace. I may look at it and see if I can come up
with something that's not too invasive in the algorithms.

That said, for now you can use the --cpu option. I'm not sure I ever
documented it as it was originally added for debugging, but I use it
enough that it may be worth while to officially support it.

 trace-cmd report --cpu 3

Will show you just cpu 3 and nothing else. Which is what I use a lot.

But doing the stack trace thing may be something to fix as well. I'll
see what I can do, but no guarantees.
