I have recently overclocked my GTX 1050ti using MSI afterburner, i managed to achieve +215 MHz clock speed and +1000 Memory Clock, I just wanted to know if since the temps are stable and I've been stress testing at every increment, should i push it any further?
 
Depends if you are getting any more performance. The power limit sets the maximum performance. If there is only 75 watts then you won't get much from overclock but if you are 150 watts then see how far you can go before it throttles you in games.

It's 7-8% performance increase which in many games will be a few fps for a 75 watt card. You will throttle to approx. <1850MHz. MSI boards top out at 113.0 W.
 
"The narrow gap between 1050 and 1050 Ti is due at least in part to Nvidia’s 75 W ceiling on both cards. Fitting the 1050 Ti in under that threshold requires lower clock rates, whereas the 1050 spins up a little more freely. Board partners who add a six-pin power connector and exceed the official TDP have plenty of room to overclock and hit more aggressive frequencies. The MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4 GB our German team tested is a perfect example; it ran stably at 1900 MHz.
