I agree with Gary. You can just shove long thin wood shavings of something relatively soft like spruce or pine that will impress into the existing wood threads and maybe a touch of yellow glue(not enough to glue the screw in permanently) or Miniwax "wood hardener" or tung oil into the hole and keep experimenting until you get the screw aligned at the right depth with the right tension. If the screw was properly indexed previously this method will always work if you monkey with it long enough. You can fix a pretty wallowed out hole this way.
