Wooden kitchen matches work too, although they aren't as hard. I generally
use 3 of them, depending on hole size.
But for cases where the screw never was secure enough, I drill the hole out
to a standard size; and note how deep the drill went to cut off a length of
hardwood dowel. Coat it with glue and drive it into the hole, then wait for
the glue to dry before drilling a pilot hole and driving in the screw.
