what i would do is open the soffet overhang
No soffit. It is under a covered patio.
The red circle is where the interior outlet is. The line represents the romex. I think I will cut a strip out of the wall to gain access to the romex. Then I will cut a hole in the wood ceiling to spice and mount junction boxes. Screw all the wood back on and done. I am putting bead board on the ceiling so that will cover my cut out.

well ya pulling exterior plywood off is best now looking at that picture, but assuming the wire has issues you still gotta run new wire to a junction box in attic and you can just cut loose and leave the old wire there without removing it
that said, you have 2 outlets within inches of each other, i would just run a short wire from ext outlet to the interior outlet and your done. then go in attic and cut the old wire, put wire nuts on the ends, and stick it in a junction box in the attic to secure it

Looks like you were handy enough to get from

So what's the problem with pulling that plywood down or prying it partway loose ... for the hour (or so) it should take to pull another wire into a new box?
It's almost as if posting and reviewing all this would be the harder job.
