I've done a couple more complex things to cure this problem

Use a moto-tool to trim off the box.
You should also be able to get a hack saw blade in between the stud and 
the box and cut off the nails that hold the box in. Slide the box back 
and run screws or nails through the side of the box to hold the correct 
location.

Peace,
Pat
