I’m confused, I don’t pronounce it fed-uh-verse or fed-eh-verse.

It’s very much fed-ih-verse, where the vowel is pronounced the same as in feddit. I tried to explain this using the International Phonetic Alphabet but that shit is extremely confusing to me.

However you do make a valid point about lazy American pronunciations. They tend to become dominant regardless of whether they are technically correct.
