If the wobbly tooth is loose enough to easily pull it out then you could pull the wobbly tooth.

Just don't force the wobbly tooth to come out when you try to pull on it because you could cause bleeding or infection.

The wobbly tooth may eventually come loose enough to fall out easily on it's own without much effort or any effort at all.

If the wobbly tooth is just a little bit wobbly then it may not be ready to come out and then only a dentist who knows what they are doing should pull the tooth out.

But if it's wobbly enough that you can work it back and forth and then pop it out easily then pulling the wobbly tooth out is okay.
