Hey do you self a favor, just leave that box alone!
just cut in a new box a few inches away at the same height and run yourself a new romex 12-2 and put it on a new 20amp breaker you’ll have your dedicated circuit and you’ll have the original still intact if that doesnt work for you then take existing box out of the wall and put in a two gang box put existing circuit back together on 1 side and your new 20amp circuit on the other.

I have to keep the original. It's definitely inline with other outlets since it causes my living room lights to dim when I turn on the PC
