There is no such thing as "generic" Bloodthirster. Rather, in new fluff they are arranges in circles, 8 weak ones serving stronger one, circles arrayed 8 deep (it being holy number of their god and all). Bottom tier one is barely stronger than Space Marine heroes, upper tier like Anggrath or Skarbrand can pretty much make whole planet go insane with rage with single roar. So you need to establish what level you mean, exactly.
That being said, unless Stark manages to not get into melee range, he will have big problems. Even weakest Bloodthirster can cleave terminator armour (pinnacle of WH super-heavy infantry armour) like wet paper and you need supernatural wards or power fields to stand any chance against a hit. Then, there is the fact Bloodthirsters strike at initiative and weapon skill that dwarf that of even millennia old galaxy-wide known Space Marine heroes, so unless Stark somehow managed to compete with that, well...
But, frankly, the problem with daemons is the fact they really
should be unbeatable as written, as they laugh at human guns and mock laws of physics, yet Space Marines (or even IG troopers...) somehow can beat them most of the time. Though, this usually involves drowning it in bodies and/or bullets. If the daemon has weak connection to reality, even a few blows will banish it, if not (or if it can pile skulls/maim/burn fast enough) you can forget it.
