One time I had to brake the opposite tire and nudge the misaligned tube tire by gently lurching the clutch a few times. It spun the rim while the tire and tube stayed put. Keep in mind we're only talking about a couple inches of rotation.
Valve inaccessible. Slipped tube?

Some people are "too smart to learn" They already know it all.

The only tires generally that spin on the rim is very low pressure tires. I have spent enough of my life breaking beads to know "MOST" don't simply spin on the rim when jacked up. It's the whole design purpose of bead and rim.
On mine, the tire did spin too. Heavy walled tires, low pressure, allowed them to spin and pull the tube which 'cocked' the stem. I just reversed the process. I've also fought enough other tires to get the beads broken free when replacing tires, so I know what you mean about how they shouldn't spin.

I have had many motorcycle tires move on the rim due to low air pressure. We used a rim lock or a bead lock to prevent it from happening.
On my IH584 I had a tube with ballast in it. If the tire was low the tube would walk inside the tire. I fought it for a few years until I quit using ballast in that tire/tube. I just put a different tire rim on with tubeless tire.

I think the RIM GUARD is the game changer that takes it from a home repair attempt, to otherwise. Take it off (saving a service call) and take it in.
I learned they make "Forestry" Tubes with heavier valve asemblies I guess to keep the valves from getting torn off.

We certainly understand that.
Well, I finally fixed it. And many thanks to shovelmike and ch1ch2 for your good advice. I raised it off the ground, positioned the valve at 12 o'clock, took the cap off with pliers, and pried the valve back into proper position with a moderately big screwdriver. Then I added air, and let the tractor down. I don't think I moved the tube much.
