haha holy **** no wonder you hate it. that stem looks like something a 300 pound 45 year old would ride on their bi-yearly bicycle excursions.
you shouldn't need anywhere that kind of rise to clear the top tub with the bars, and wouldn't a 650c(assuming you've tried 700c and it really won't work) clear the downtube as well and be a bit larger, thus not looking as silly.

Barspins are fun... but that stem definitely needs to go. Replace with 0 degree or possibly -10 (not sure if that will clear but it looks like it might)
