How to remove old house number
First, use a hammer and chisel to cut the stucco tight to the old sign. Try to undercut at 45 degrees so that when the sign pops off it will not pull any more of the stucco with it. Once you have a clean-edged rectangular depression, fill it flush with a wood block and some stucco product. You want a waterproof patch.
If your new sign is a bit too small you can build a "picture frame" around the sign. Add the frame after mounting the new sign, or attach the sign to a larger thin substrate with the frame as one piece..
