Nope, it doesn't end your journey. I know docs with scores in the 70's who're now doing Residency. Everything's possible. However you need to work harder on Step one.. a good score on step one would definitely help.
Take some time off and analyze where you might have gone wrong while studying for CK or try a different approach for step one.
Am sure you can do it... All the very best!
