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.

Can you just remove the screws, slide it up, then pull the bottom out intact, then remove the top? Looks like you got some wiggle room.

That's definitely how I'd start tackling this issue. The bottom tab is just barely stuck. FWIW, I am a contractor.
