Need help pulling out an outlet to be flush with accent wall!

I am putting up a board & batten wall for our new nursery & when cutting the hole out for my outlet, forgot to include additional space to be able to unscrew the outlet in order to pull it out a bit to be flush to the new backing board. Is there an easy way to do this? I do not want to pull off the backing board as it would rip out the drywall and do not want to go down that path. I'm hoping there's a way to do this - please send help if you have any ideas! submitted by /u/_2BRO2B [link] [comments]
