How do you fix a stripped wood screw hole in a heavy wooden door hinge frame?

Question

The screws holding my bedroom door hinge have stripped the internal wood fibers, causing the door to sag and scrape the floor. How do you rebuild the hole anchor?

HandyMan · Answer

Coat three or four wooden kitchen toothpicks or a thick wooden dowel in wood glue, jam them tightly into the stripped screw hole, snap them flush, let dry, then redrive the screw.
