The common round toothpick.
Do any of you have that PITA stripped out screw like on your strike plate that's on a door jamb, on a chair or table? The toothpick is your answer.
Just remove the screw insert as many toothpicks thats needed to fill the hole, snap them off then insert the screw. You can go a step farther by putting a little wood glue on the toothpick before inserting.
The door frames in my old condo were practically made of toothpicks. Lol. Wood glue or regular old elmers worked the best. And Bondo makes a good repair putty for wood rot on old window sills in lieu of replacement. Obviously, you should fix the source of the moisture before repairing it, but it works well.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
