the screw snapped off flush on the outside of the box correct? if this is the case there will be a longer section, of the screw threads, inside the box... i use a long nose pliers to back this out or spin thru.

The outside measurements should be the same or slightly larger (just open up the hole) check the depth first, there are deeper boxes available that may not fit.
