I am getting the Stop Mask error on DRC because the silk screen layer and
text is overlapping the stopmask. Can I keep this and send to board
manufacturer, for automated assembly (maybe without silkscreen on the board)
or should I correct? I would be a big trouble to correct.

Most board houses will automatically clip the silkscreen to the
soldermask,
but it's bad practice to rely on that and you need to check with the board
house to be sure.
Why is it "big trouble" to fix it the right way? So far I haven't
ecountered such a problem and it's hard to imagine how you'd run into one
without something stupid going on. If the offending silkscreen is coming
from a name or value, then it's easy enough to move it, resize it, or
delete it. If it's coming from tPlace (or bPlace) in a library part, then
that's a badly made part and should be fixed. Library parts shouldn't
have
silkscreen so far outside their own outline that a pad of another part
could be placed there.

I see. Please check the picture attached. I resized the silkscreen frame, it
is inside the Stop Mask. What do you suggest? To resize the stop mask also?
