Drill out hole to 6mm or same size as a wood dowel. Glue in a wood dowel with wood glue. Cut flush. Use the other half of the dowel for the second hole. Cut flush. Screw into dowel to fix hinge. Stronger fix than original into chipboard. Job done. Simples. Wife happy because I've not wasted her baking foil.

That foil will last all of about 2 minutes,you could see when he inserted the screws that they bottomed and we're still turning, he would have been better served just putting the screws back in with just the glue.As an automotive engineer I can tell you that that open tapered thread will offer next to no clamping force in that foil,the screw being held in entirely by a bit of glue and some friction, its ability to retain that little clamping force will be rapidly overcome by the movement and weight of the door it's self and the transfer from the snapping action on the hinge as it shuts. My method is to router out a rectangle around the recess leaving around 3mm at the back edge to retain the outer finish and then glue in some hardwood blocks and recess them to accept the hinge. I've done a few that way,none have failed👍

I love how he learned his lesson, after over tightening the second screw in the tin foil, we went really slow when screwing into the hot glue.

Yeah, never a good idea to use a drill for little screws like that, that's probably how the holes got wrecked in the first place.

I usually fill any stripped hole with toothpicks coated with a little bit of wood glue. Some people have suggested match sticks, but they tend to be kind of thick. Toothpicks are thin and tapered, so you can really jam them in tight and break them off at the surface.

i have a table my great grandfather made. It has a pedestal center, and the tabletop can be turned upright by virtue of a hinge on the pedestal. Tabletop is quite heavy, and after 90 years, between wood shrinking and the weight of the table top, a couple of the screws gave way. My brother-in-law tipped me off to the toothpick method, and it worked incredibly well. I was nervous as anything to try it - GGfather's table has thousands of small inlays, a real piece of art that I was terrified I'd ruin.

I use hard wood dowel, glued in place with gorilla glue and predrill a pilot. Works like a champ on all wood repairs, hinge and strike screw repairs as well. You never return, it’s that good.

A decent solution, but I wouldn't waste my aluminium foil, let alone expensive superglue, on this type of repair. In the past, I've simply drilled out the stripped thread, added a drop or two of Evo-Stik wood glue, then tapped in a suitably-sized dowel. A piece of cake.

You ballsed up the second screw with your drill driver - use a hand held screwdriver for the last couple of turns - gives you much better control and the perfect tightness
