You can not use the category axis type in stock charts, but you can use Highstock source code to create simple chart with categories and Highstock features:

Highcharts.chart({
    navigator: {
        enabled: true
    },
    scrollbar: {
        enabled: true
    },
    xAxis: {
        categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun',
            'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'
        ],
        crosshair: true
    },
    ...
});
