Hi there I've got a drywall plastic backbox and the screw holes have stripped can I change just the two clips so don't have to remove box as it's double plasterboarded and don't want to snap it pulling box out thanks :)
 
i doubt you would snap the board pulling it out unless they have boarded over it.

you can swap the wings or if you wanted put a mc box in then if you snap them again you can tap the back of the box
