You should think carefully about the term "stability". It generally (but not
always) refers to something like the free energy of folding. If that is what
you are interested in, you would need to estimate (either via simulation or by
some model) the effect of mutation on the unfolded state as well as the folded
state.
Generally, you will always need to construct a thermodynamic cycle, with two
wild-type entries and two mutant entries. The free energy change of just
making a mutation in one state (e.g. the folded state) is not well-defined.
