electrical panel? Surely there's a way to protect and secure the incoming
cable other than tearing into the wall just to tighten a nut on the
backside?

In addition to the other tips...

The front bezel on the panel covers some distance around the outside of
the panel. On the ones I've used, about 1" outside the panel is
covered. That leaves plenty of room to remove 1/2" of drywall above
and/or below the panel thru which you can access the other side of the
cable clamp. Needle nose pliers to hold the ring and install the clamp
backwords, or keep the screws on the clamp facing the correct way and
you can get a screwdriver in there to tighten the clamp on the wire.
