If there are spacers above the stem you can raise the bars.

Or you can flip the stem and use your vanity as motivation to do some stretching.

Got some FSA Omega Compact bars.
Cheap and they made a big difference.
Not so stretched and smaller drop.. I actually use the drops now
Shorter distance going from bars to hoods (preferred this than changing to a shorter stem)

Get a new frame.

Or just flip the stem. FFS.
