This question is more complicated than it seems like it should be!
There is no threshold mass or density beyond which an object becomes perfectly spherical; even supermassive stars are slightly oblong. The only exception is black holes, which are perfectly round up until you reach the quantum level. If we want a simple answer, most guesses are somewhere around $frac{1}{10000}$ the mass of earth, or $6cdot10^{20}$ kg, but that is very approximate and depends on the composition of the object.
