The Gorgon has an ability called Petrifying Breath which reads as below:
Petrifying Breath (Recharge 5-6): The gorgon exhales petrifying gas in
a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 13
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target begins to turn
to stone and is Restrained. The Restrained target must repeat the
saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect
ends on the target. On a failure, the target is Petrified until freed
by the Greater Restoration spell or other magic.
Now if the target fails both of the CON saves they are petrified. What if they have only failed their first save but have yet to make their second? Is there any spell or ability that can remove the condition turning the target to stone?

If the Restrained condition is removed, the second saving throw is no longer triggered and the effect is broken.

Strict RAW reading – perhaps Wish
The ability only describes how to get rid of it after the second fail, so there are no obvious options. Moreover, Greater Restoration only removes petrified condition:
- One effect that charmed or petrified the target
(and some others, but not restrained and not the first stage of Gorgon's Petrifying Breath) but the target has not been petrified yet. So you would need some powerful general tool to get rid of it, hence Wish.
More reasonable reading
Obviously, this would be a bit mental. If Greater Restoration cures the final stage (I as a DM would rule that...), it should cure the first stage as well. Nip in in the bud, so to say. But it may be up to the DM to decide how hair-splitty does he want to be.
