    I’ve done this with great success on kitchen cabinet hinges. I didn’t drill them out, just broke off wooden toothpicks to match the depth of the hole, covered with wood glue, put them in the hole, then put the screw back in. Works amazingly well.

      This is what my grandfather did, and I use the same trick now. Always keep a box of toothpicks with the tool kit.
