I'm excited to see your post, because I was going to write something similar. In particular, I wanted to link to the five geek social fallacies which is all about why nerdy gamers feel obligated to include socially awkward friends at the table, even when they're disruptive. And then, I wanted to suggest that OP transition this high-anxiety friend over to a different social event, and your suggestion of board games is perfect. Board games do not require role play in which a socially awkward person bungles the social interactions. Here are some of my favorites that seem to work well with socially difficult people:

Dominion (a deck building game -- start with 10 cards, mostly cards to buy stuff, and spend the game buying up more cards that give you extra actions or cash -- what's extremely cool is that the cards you buy are varied, so one game might feel very different from the next game).
Rummikub (you gain 14 tiles and must put them down in runs of color or number -- this is great for aspergers types, because it goes at your own pace, and someone who can envision adjusting all the numbered tiles on the board/table can sometimes on a single turn get rid of tons & tons of tiles in an epic reconfiguring of... everything).
Sequence (team-based card game that involves putting down cards on a game board to form lines, sorta like Connect 4, but involving teamwork, so if someone nervous doesn't want all the pressure on himself or herself, there will be teammates to help in this game).
Munchkin (a joke game based upon D&D but without the social interactions... perfect).
Carcassonne (a slower game that involves making "kingdoms" by placing tiles, pretty good for someone looking for low-pressure).

Good luck OP!

I'm going to suggest Rummikub. It may not seem all that appealing but I can assure you that it's an addictive game to learn and once you get the hang of it, you probably wont want to stop. I used to play against my grandmother 3-4 times a day a few days a week week after she'd had a couple of strokes that left her partially paralyzed. She could still plan her moves very well and was still sharp up until her last days and I'll never forget her regularly accusing me of cheating. I'd even pretend to drop a tile on the floor so I could look at her hand just to mess with her.

I miss my Nana.
