Went for a small pair of bolt cutters in the end, and used the great tip of threading a nut on first to reform the thread afterwards.

Thanks everyone for all your help

Sorry to hijack, but what do you do if the thread on the back box is knackered? eg the screw just turns and doesnt bite into the thread (some idiot has used normal wood screws to fit some light switches back to the wall!) Most of the boxes I have are plastered around and changing the box would mean touching up on the decorating =(
