It is very lucky, but I don't think it's the only bright star. Vega is also quite bright and was once the North Star. But there definitely aren't many bright ones along the circle.

Also, FYI the North Star isn't truly fixed either as our rotation axis is processing. The Earth is more accurately like a spinning top. It's a slow change, but in a few 1000 years there won't be a North Star. Or at least it might be a different Star, not Polaris
