Why does my overhang/bridge look so bad? Isn't this small enough to be done better?

It would help if you showed how it looks in the slicer.
But from the photo it looks like it made the bridge in a circular way instead of in parallel lines. If you can make the bridging go strictly in parallel lines from top to bottom, it should turn out better.
I would go back to your CAD model and tweak it for better printability. If it was a model you downloaded and without a source CAD model I would just remodel it myself to be more printable.
