Had to replace a single socket in a tiled kitchen where they'd done thisNo No NO, your doing it all wrong...
2 inch #8 wood screw for face plates , that sucker will be nice and tight
Lugs both bent and holes way to big for rethreading - No way to replace the back box without removing tiles.
Used one of these things - Fix a broken screw thread in your metal back box. Raise, tilt or lower a socket faceplate - https://backboxsaver.com - which did work, though only after a lot of fiddling and swearing and it was still only being held firm properly by one of the screws....
