So few days back I brought a used Ryzen 3 1200 from @PatXioPC. But the processor when arrived had 2-3 bent pins.
Yesterday I brought a motherboard and the processor wasn't fitting into socket. So I had straighten the bent pins with the help of YouTube knowledge. 
While straightening the pins one of them broke. 
So I put a copper wire on the respective hole of the socket and then ran a system stability test on Aida 64 for one hour. Every thing is fine till now. (Stock Voltage and stock clock).

So I want to ask :
1. Is it safe to use like? Is it safe for other components?.
2. I am thinking to overclock to 3.8Ghz, is it safe to overclock in this situation?

If you were able to even POST with a broken pin, and the troubleshooting you did with it. I'm assuming you're probably fine running your chip this way. As long as the plate contacts with the socket array, it shouldn't be any problem running. 

 

Although the different type of conductor material, not sure if it may affect in the longterm scenario.

This won't affect what preset you wanna run you chip at. You'll better be off overclocking and won't notice anything regarding of that. 

console.log("way to pro");
