Such thing as a phobia? Sure. A phobia that can't be overcome? No.
I don't believe there's anything that can't be overcome with enough willpower and determination.
If I was scared chitless of butterflies (believe it or not I know a gal who is), I would feel like a complete pussy and would do everything I could to overcome that fear and eventually, I would no longer be scared of them.
Instead of the Adapt and Overcome attitude, our society has taken the "its ok/good to be different" crap to extremes and come to nurture characteristics that are very far out of the norm... things like having a phobia of puppies, a boy that wants to be a girl and join the girl scouts, and other things I won't mention because it would completely derail the thread.
