I have worked with web development for years and now I'm starting to wake up.
I have learnt a couple of languages, frameworks, CMSes, CI/deploy automatization techniques and security, architechture, accessibility etc. I can do both backend and frontend. A jack of all trades web dev I guess.
After working with shitty CRUD sites for years, where the only ways to not die of boredom was to overengineer or test drive shiny frameworks, I now feel empty.
It's the same shit over and over, and it's hard to produce anything revolutionary with these skills. Trying out {new shiny tech stack} creating basic crap doesn't do much to me anymore.
At my new job I'm surrounded by devs who really know their shit. People with solid math , physics and CS skills which enables them to create cool projects using AR and VR. All my web skills suddenly feel so useless.
I've forgotten most of my maths and physics after all these years. My CS skills are so so. But.. I want to give it a try at least. A part of me is scared that I'm too stupid and doomed to be a web monkey for life. But fuck it, I used to be quite good at maths back in the days at least.
How do you think I should get started?

I feel you bro, web monkey here trying to get out. I'm good with microcontrollers and pretty fond of low level stuff, so embedded might be my way out.
You asked about maths, here's a pic of a book plan I'm trying to follow since years ago but never had time (and probs never will)

Talk to your manager, and say you're looking to get out of your comfort zone (full stack web dev) and you're looking for something more challenging.
If you've proven yourself to be reliable so far, your manager may give you additional tasks on top of your current workload to show off your skills.
This could go a few ways:
1. Your boss assigns work out of your area, so you get exposure into the areas you'd like;
2. You're given more responsibility in your current area, giving you the potential to move up into a more senior position;
3. Your boss blows you off;
