How to improve braking

Hi I screwed up and put 26" wheels on a bike that should have 26 1 3/8 wheels and my brakes seem to suck because they are too long.

How can I fix this?

I was thinking:
put a 26 1 3/8 wheel on the front and keep 26" wheel on the back (must keep rear wheel)
Get Dual pivot brakes
Get drum brakes

Which of those options sounds like it will fix the problem but have the least / no side effects.

PS: I have clean rims, pads, well adjusted etc.
