You can also fix stripped screwholes like that by half filling the hole with fine walnut sawdust, the finest you can make, say with a flat file or a miter saw and packed in somehow, then drip nice fresh super glue or Mini-Wax wood hardener in until the sawdust is soaked, then fill the hole to the top with sawdust and repeat. Let it dry then carefully redrill the hole. You won't even be able to tell you have done a repair when you're done and it will be as strong as new. I've used this method while repairing guitars and banjos and such.
