In a similar boat and have tried this recently, but I can't say it worked. The only real solution seems to be to go elsewhere.

There is something supremely disgusting in being forced to work on projects ("hey client X needs this Y thing done asap") that you don't care about, know they have a close to zero chance of working to an acceptable degree and also know you'll be blamed for their failure. Over and over and over.
