Y'know that option under the application's Window properties that stretches the game's display to the dimensions of the window it's in? Is there a way to disable/enable that while the game is running? I checked all the actions in "storyboard controls" and anything the Window Control Object could do, but haven't had any luck.
Is it possible? Is there an extension somewhere that can do it?

Not as far as I know.  I'd also like to know if this is possible. The Ultimate Fullscreen object might give you some flexibility there.

Doesn't look like that extension does it. It gives a lot of control over fullscreen settings, but that's it.
So, it looks like I've run into this problem before (I found an old project where I needed to mess with the window size while the graphics were stretched) and it looks like I just used the Viewport Object instead of the "Resize display" option in order to resize things. It's kind of a cheap workaround, though. But it's the only one I've got right now.

Good to know that it's possible somehow! I've never used that object before - thanks for the tip

Pretty sure the Ultimate Full Screen object would allow you to change the game's display scale at runtime, but you'll need to use floating point numbers. If I wasn't in brain fart mode, I'd probably be able to think up some equation that sets a bordered full-screen display based off of a percentage of either the original frame resolution or the screen size. Drawback is the white background color can't be modified... I don't think.
Edit: I just tried it out in MMF2 and was able to emulate a frame border and resize the display while holding control and using the mouse wheel - all in full-screen mode.
