use toothpicks and wood glue to refill the stripped hole, snapping them off near the lip of the hole. Let the glue dry and drive the same screw into the repaired area. This trick works for doors, cabinets, or anything with hinges that a wider screw won't help. Don't buy expensive patching compounds, they don't work very well at all. This method works very well.
