Alright so i am using the engineering upgrade glitch to add your own (default) custom abilities that you level up. But, every time i level an ability the tooltip is bugged, for example.

Level 1: Calls down hordes of rampaging thunder lizards to explode upon the Hero's enemies. Each exploding lizard deals 55 damage. |nLasts 0

Where 55 damage doesn't exist anywhere and through each level it stays as 55 damage or 60 damage where clearly "<ANST.DataC1>" is 250.00 damage.
Any help will be gladly appreciated.

Are you sure ANST refers to the ability ID?
You can see the ability ID by holding Shift + D in the ability tab of the object editor, then the names become their ability ID (press the combo again to return the normal names).

If it's different you have to replace the ANST with the ability ID (like A001).

<ANst,DataC1> refers to the value of level 1 of the ability
<ANst,DataC2> refers to the value of level 2 of the ability
...
<ANst,DataC55> refers to the value of level 55 of the ability

this is what your tool tip for level 1 should look:
Calls down hordes of rampaging thunder lizards to explode upon the Beastmaster's enemies. Each exploding lizard deals <ANst,DataC1> damage. |nLasts <ANst,Dur1> seconds.

this is how your tool tip for level 55 should look
Calls down hordes of rampaging thunder lizards to explode upon the Beastmaster's enemies. Each exploding lizard deals <ANst,DataC55> damage. |nLasts <ANst,Dur55> seconds.

If the duration for all levels is the same it is not necessary to change <ANst,Dur1> to <ANst,Dur55> .

Note that there is some bug with stampede when you create a custom ability based on it, the custom ability calls the original ability's values when you use stuff like <ANst,Dur1>.
You will have to edit the original stampede ability for this to work.

To be honest stampede is not the only ability, it's every ability. I'm only using stampede as an example, here are some images.
