These kind of TeX fonts with weird encodings are deprecated.  I still include them for backward compatability, but you should either rely on Truetype/Opentype alternatives or the built-in blackboard emboldening mechanism.

Of course you are free to hack a macro that simply uses specific characters from the Bbb** font, e.g. using the Ctrl-q shortcut and then entering a number.

In the font file bbold10.pfb lower case blackboard bold greek characters are categorized under wrong characters, making it very hard to type in these symbols.

I would suggest replacing it with a more updated font bboldx (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/bboldx), which has another advantage of extending the original to a set of three weights with the original.
