Nothing is more aggravating then when a screw hole becomes stripped. Luckily, you can fix this problem with just a hot glue gun. Here's how to use this hack.
Another useful method is drilling out the hole and filling it with matchsticks and wood glue. Let it dry, cut it flat and rescrew the hole. It takes a while longer to dry but I think it might be more secure than hot glue.
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.

Sounds a lot like a concrete anchor with extra steps.

This is what my grandfather did, and I use the same trick now. Always keep a box of toothpicks with the tool kit.
Great tip:)
Yeah, I’ve heard this one. At least the matchstick part. Haven’t had the need yet
