Have you removed(cut) the nails or screws holding the box to the studs? Do that carefully, make sure the breaker is OFF and don’t cut the wires coming into the box. Once you cut see if the box can be moved about 3/4” into the wall. If so it will become a junction box the send the wires to the new box. If I were you, hire an electrician and see how it’s done.

Thanks for responding. Yes I’ve already removed the screws, and I at least know enough to have switch off the circuit breaker. I’ve worked with some electricians a few times so I (hopefully) know enough not get myself killed lol. The box is only held in place by the conduits, but I think I’ve got a couple possible solutions now thanks to these comments, I appreciate the help!
