A reply to a personal email from the direct boss but sending it to every other boss in the enterprise and including something in the line of "stop touching my balls!!!" ("deja de tocarme los cojones").

Could that be translated more colloquially to "stop busting my balls"?

I think it could be. I'm not a native English speaker, so...

If it was meant in a "lay off me" or "get off my back" way, I think "stop busting my balls" would be an accurate translation
