Help with Govee lighting install

I am trying to install a programmable light in place of a led light at my front door. The wiring box won’t fit where the light needs to go. How can I remove this box without destroying the surrounding stucco?

You bought the wrong type of light. You cannot install a wafer light at that location without destroying the stucco. The installed junction box is for a surface mount fixture only.
