Trying to conquer the USSR in a war of extermination was virtually impossible. Despite coming close to taking certain major cities, Nazi Germany was never that close to winning the war. They set a crazily ambitious goal and then failed to get the error-free campaign they would need to have a possibility of victory. Whether the war could have ended in a stalemate, potentially with territorial gains for Nazi Germany, is hard to tell.
As a side note, the German military was likely stronger and more prepared for Barbarossa in 1941 than in 1939, assuming that it somehow happens then. Britain and France also would not have wanted Hitler to conquer Eastern Europe, before an inevitable conflict with them.
