I am trying to import the following symbol

\mathbbit{q}

from stix library,

enter image description here

see the following code, please:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\DeclareFontEncoding{LS1}{}{}
\DeclareFontSubstitution{LS1}{stix}{m}{n}
\newcommand*\qq{%
\text{%
\fontencoding{LS1}%
\fontfamily{stixbb}%
\fontseries{\textmathversion}%
\fontshape{n}%
\selectfont\symbol{`q}}}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*\textmathversion{\csname textmv@\math@version\endcsname}
\newcommand*\textmv@normal{m}
\newcommand*\textmv@bold{b}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
  $\qq$ {\boldmath$\qq$}
\end{document}

Unfortunately, there is no 

ls1stixbbit.fd

font in the /stix folder, only 

ls1stixbb.fd

is available. Therefore, I am able to create only non-italic or bold q:

Is there any way of importing italic, black-boarded q from stix?

Use \fontshape{it}: the same .fd file defines several font shapes.

The code can be simplified.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\DeclareFontEncoding{LS1}{}{}
\DeclareFontSubstitution{LS1}{stix}{m}{n}

\newcommand*\qq{%
  \text{\usefont{LS1}{stixbb}{\textmathversion}{n}q}%
}
\newcommand*\qqit{%
  \text{\usefont{LS1}{stixbb}{\textmathversion}{it}q}%
}

\makeatletter
\newcommand*\textmathversion{\csname textmv@\math@version\endcsname}
\newcommand*\textmv@normal{m}
\newcommand*\textmv@bold{b}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

$\qq$ {\boldmath$\qq$}

$\qqit$ {\boldmath$\qqit$}

\end{document}
