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.

Let me preface this by "I'm not a contractor". I'd use a multi tool to expand your cut a little bit on the top and bottom, then use "outlet spacers" to move the switch forward.
