Any great ideas on how to pull the outlet forward without pulling the panel off? I’m thinking I might be able to cut the board enough to get the outlet tabs out but still hide the hole behind the plate.

Update: used a utility knife to cut enough board away to get one tab and the screws out, then slid it down and was able to wiggle it out. Now on to the other receptacle the idiot did the same thing to

Get an oscillating multi tool, cut out the switch, then use spacers to bring it forward.
