You're probably stuck with the car, but beyond being a lesson learned, you may be able to work the situation a little bit in your eventual favor. Leases are calculated based on how much of the value of the car the dealer expects you to use up by the end of the lease. Your buyout is $26k, so the expected value of the car at the end of the lease is that.
If you use the car sparingly and keep it in really good shape, you may find yourself with a car worth more than $26k at the end of your lease. This would let you either a) buy the car out then sell it and recoup a little of your money (a pain and taxes on that purchase might negate benefit), or b) possibly put that towards a new lease (nope!) or a purchase (maybe). If the dealer has some used cars on the cheap and is willing to work with you, you might be able to swing your excess value that way if you want a used car.
Though if you want to drive Uber, that would probably both get you money sooner and be a more efficient transfer of car value to your pocketbook. If the car isn't worth the buyout value, the dealer doesn't get to charge you more as long as you haven't violated any terms of your lease.
