Yes you could place the brakes higher up on your bars, I personally think the higher this is the worse it looks asthetically but you are looking for functionality, a shorter stem will also mean you dont have to reach as far to rest on the hoods. As someone else pointed out compact or different shaped drops might help make you more comfortable on the drops and hoods. Without visiting a bike fitting specialist it will be trial and error I am afraid.
