Going to be a bitch to find a cover that will fit. I would remove it all and jamb in in a 4s deep with 2 extensions.

I've had to repair one like that myself. Don't mess with finding a cover, your easiest/fastest/cheapest/best bet would be to install a new box and cover.

I ran into this a couple of years ago and fixed it with a couple of 411/16 boxes.

I hope a wire comes loose and hits the drop ceiling and energizes the whole grid for them to get shocked

Not real cool. I found a ceiling energized from a neon transformer and it was not fun.
