How do I move money from USDC when the gas fees are so high?

I was part of the Voyager debacle. I ended up with $38 in USDC in a Trust wallet. I recently decided to move it into some other coin but the gas fees are about $28. So I decided to sell it and just return the money to fiat. Again the fees would make moving this $38 to my bank a $68 transaction. Am I just stuck with $38 in USDC forever? Or do I transfer $10 to another coin and eat $28 in fees? I have a handful of other coins that I experimentally plopped $100 in so they've made $8 or $20 but not much in profit. Am I going to be in the same situation with these other coins where I cannot liquidate without losing money?
