I've seen that it's possible to run scripts stored locally on a remote server eg.: run a command:

ssh USER@HOST 'COMMAND'

run a script

ssh root@192.168.1.1 'bash -s' < script.sh

What about doing it on the oppisite way?

Is it possible to get a script stored on a remote server and execute it locally?

Yes, you essentially can read the script file in:

bash -c "$( ssh user@remote_host "cat /path/to/script.sh" )"

Worked well with this minimal thing:

#!/bin/bash
seq 1 10
