A major limitation is the steerer tube length. No matter how many times you cut a steerer tube it won't get longer.
Getting Riser Bars or simply flipping the stem over or getting one with a different rise and reach might give you the added height you need. If you LIKE the handlebars, the stem is the best and least-invasive option as most new ones come with front loaders (detachable front caps) that allow replacement without stripping components off one side of the handlebar. In minutes a Bicycle Shop could swap any number of them onto your bike for you to try.
A reputable Bicycle Shop would have fit the bike to you before you took it home.
