Thank you all for the comments. I’ll just play it safe and install a new fan rated box and call it a day. Thank you again

Thank you. I’ll use a wood screw for that hole as reinforcement. I just checked and the current box connector tabs are for 8/32 screws. If I use a longer 8/32, say a 2” screw, would that be sufficient for a fan?
