Sucks, but there isn't a lot you can do about it except have a mental shift:

That company / work is not a reflection of you. Let the company suck....let it be far less efficient than it should be....let them waste money.

Lean into the micromanaging, wait before doing anything before you "check with him first". Ask him mundane questions like "do you prefer this color blue or that color blue for logo?"
