Have you thought of working for a different company? Maybe a different technology? It sounds like you've been pigeon holed and you don't like it. You can leave for another.
I got my bachelor's degree almost 15 years ago, and never once have I wanted to get a master's degree. Only do it if you have an extremely good reason to, as it doesn't have much market value over a bachelor's.
Becoming a software architect comes with experience, and credentials usually come in the form of industry or platform certifications, not degrees.
Don't worry about learning potential work related things or tech projects outside of work. That's your time, not your employer's time. Go outside, touch grass, and feel sunshine.
