Don't use the "repeat" option when you don't want repeated counter values.

This requires a custom number conversion, the following example works 
only for single digits only.

%%%% begin example
\define[1]\BoxedNumber
   {\inframed[width=3ex]{\convertnumber{n}{#1}}}

\defineconversion [BoxedNumber] [\BoxedNumber]

\starttext

\startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit,repeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
   \item xxx
   \startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
     \item xxx
   \stopitemize
\stopitemize

\stoptext
%%%% end example

For question blocks like here you want to use an enumeration environment 
rather than itemize.
