woodscrew, stripped out wood

[fatkatie]

I have a wood screw stripped out hole in a door. The screw holds the door bolt "face"
plate on the narrow side of the door.

Given the use a door gets, to really securely fix it, should I drill it out and glue in a dowel or will the toothpick
thing with glue be good enough?

How do you pros fix stripped hole where there must be a lot of force applied?

Thank you.

I like the dowel idea! Sometimes some wood putty and once it dries a longer screw works well too.
