Are stubborn and stupid one and the same?

Certainly can be. I think you can throw Ignorant in there as well
 
Not always but they can be one in the same.
 
Some stupid are easily malleable. But stupid people do tend to be pretty sure of their abilities.
 
There’s a syndrome called dumb pride. This is where people are stupid but their pride won’t let them make decisions that go against the grain of their stupidity.
 
ignorance can be informed, but stubborn ignorance can't be fixed without removing the stubborn part.

Stubborn (skeptical and/or refusing to accept what may be more obvious) = Personality Trait, personality is hard to change without intensive psychotherapy.

Stupid (low iq and/or lack of knowledge) = Low IQ is generally speaking an immutable characteristic, but can be overcome with repetition of tasks and significant hands on training.

So in the end they are very similar, but the stupid label has a bit more nuance depending on what definition you are using.
