Lukas,

See -help capture-. You can also add an -if- statement at the
beginning of the loop that checks if the current model can be
estimated.

forvalues i = 1(1)5000 {

  * Move to next regression if condition is true
  if [condition, e.g. sample size too small] {
    continue
  }

  [other commands]

}
