Instead of setting SBCL_HOME, could you try adding something like
'(push "/path/to/lib/sbcl/contrib/" asdf:*central-registry*)'
at the beginning of your "init.lisp" file?

As stumpwm doesn't use the sb-cltl2 contrib, it is not included in the
stumpwm compiled binary. But telling ASDF where it can find it and then
using '(asdf:load-system :sb-cltl2)' or '(require :sb-cltl2)' should
work.
If it doesn't, you could also try loading it directly with
'(load "/path/to/lib/sbcl/contrib/sb-cltl2.fasl")'.
