I don't know exactly what you mean by "stubby" fingers in reference to guitar playing ability but I tell you this:
Of all concert guitarist that I have met (back-stage) the one that I can't never forget because the size of his hands and fat (or "stubby") fingers is (was RIP) the great Andres Segovia!.
At the last concert by him that I attended he was using a large-scale-length Hermann Hauser guitar!.

If by "stubby" you mean short fingers then a "short-scale" guitar will be one solution!.

Of couse people with all kinds of deformities can do all kinds of things!.
Obviously all kinds of excuses can prevent all kinds of successes!.
The maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As long as you don't want to play a classical guitar you will do OK and with a 3/4 size or a travel guitar you won't know the difference!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
