Meaning that you probably just need to let the bridge run for a few more days, and it'll get its Stable flag back. Also, for what it's worth, BridgeDB will still distribute your bridge, even if it doesn't have the Stable flag. The only required flag for your bridge to get distributed is the Running flag. However, you are correct that having the Stable flag is useful, because BridgeDB, when distributing some bridges to a user, will try pretty hard to make sure that at least one of the bridges has the Stable flag. So, with the Stable flag, you've got a better chance of being distributed to clients more often, but it's not strictly necessary to have it, especially for a bridge like yours with small bandwidth and CPU.
