On a serious note, if you have a striped screw hole on a door hinge, put some tooth picks in the hole, snap off the bit that sticks out, and put the screw back in. I’ve fixed so many doors this way.
Does it matter what direction the stripes run on the screw? :)
To add to this, a stripped screw into concrete or brick can be fixed with the same method but using a small piece of copper wire the length of the screw.

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about screws to tell if this is a joke
I’m making a dumb joke about your spelling haha. Striped is like a zebra, as in having stripes. Stripped is what happens when a screw is stripped.
Ohhh I see. I had a feeling I was wrong about that spelling, hah. I shouldn’t have put my faith in autocorrect
Stripping screws sucks. Screwing strippers is pretty cool.
You don’t need wood glue? Just the toothpicks?
I’ve gotten many loose screws tight with just toothpicks, no glue.
Wood glue and toothpicks, without the glue the toothpicks would get pulled out.
Wood glue won’t hurt (though you do have to wait for it to dry), but friction alone is often enough to do a decent job.
You are better with some plastic, but any flexible material will do. Glue will only make you life harder.
