Wiremold bender....
Or a 1/2" pipe bender if your careful but i'd probably end up notching out the molding for it to be snug. Flexi connectors are pricey and ugly

Notch a triangle out of each sidewall of the wiremold and then bend? (Be sure to deburr the cut edges.)
May or may not be code approved, but it should work and look reasonably good if done in a workmanlike manner.
Or else take an outside 90 and bend it back to only 45.

Which is why you would not do a 45 degree miter cut but a 22.5 degree miter instead.

I hate the idea of floor receptacles always getting broken or filled with crap...not to mention looks like he is on the second floor
I've used the wiremold bender for outside 45

Put a box or elbow connector on each side of the outside 45 deg corners and drill/fish flex between them inside the wall. Not as ugly as anything on exterior that doesn't fit snug around the corner.

Use their V5700F flexible section "for getting around difficult angles".

I think he was aware of that but was looking for other suggestions when he said:
Then you made him mad, and his last post was deleted because of it:ashamed:
Sorry guys????
That was a great suggestion but it looked to me like far too much unnecessary work
so I asked owner and inspector if we could just miss layout in those existing walls that had never been disturbed
Both were amenable.
