Don't be too fast to assume your outlets are not backstabed. They will have both screws and holes in the back. The age of the home has nothing to do with it. Backstabed devices have been around for at least 20 years and are still sold today. If they are not backstabed then you will have to remove each device on that circuit and check the connection of the wire nuts.
