Been playing for a while now and I've gotten to 55k rank, but I feel like im stuck at 5 stars. I've been playing 5*'s for a while and I don't know how to improve. All I'm doing at this point is farming 150-250pp maps. Any other tips besides playing more ? like with a certain mod or a certain type of map to play ? or should i jump to 6*s and force it out.

Only way is to play harder maps lul. Find what you fail on and try and focus on it. For me, I always hit z and x too early on jumps, so I turned my headphones up more and focused on it and I can fairly confidently do at least 6.5s and sometimes 7s with a pass. The second you try and overthink and figure out, you won't improve. Some other things:
Take a short break from osu. Sounds dumb, but if you take a week or so off, you might find that what you needed was a rest, if you've been playing frequently.
Literally just play harder maps. Can only pass high 5*s? Play a 6.9 or a 7.3 or whatever the hell you wanna play. The more fun you have with it, the more you'll improve. Even if you don't pass or get a bad score, it should still be fun and accomplishing to do a map that you didn't think you could.
Play tech maps. Honestly, that helps a TON with establishing good basics and decent skills of the game. For example, Rude Buster (https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/881601#osu/1843236) was mapped and ranked not too long ago and has a 5.03* and 6.1* on it. If you're only used to playing short maps or fairly normal ones, it'll be useful to try some different kinds of maps.
You're likely stuck because you aren't changing anything, or what you're changing isn't drastic enough.
