Where did he get the idea that he is stupid?

I'm very happy you want to teach him something useful. Since children usually look up to their big brothers and sisters, if you make a sincere attempt to lead or teach him, he'll probably follow. Just remember not to tell him he's stupid if he doesn't get it right away. (Lack of patience--probably one of the many reasons my little sister told me never to teach high school.) Maybe he needs to learn programming only, without any pressure to join a team.

I don't think anyone is too young to learn computer programming, but tailor the approach to his abilities. You know, "byte" size lessons and all that.
