Stripped screw holes

" but how do you get mixed material in a hole without making a mess?"
Tape off the area around the hole with painters tape before you apply the JB Weld.

I even found it at Walmart!

I have used the tooth pick with Loctite in areas where I never want the screw to come loose again.

I use "JB Stick" for vertical applications Here
It is the consistency of clay.

The wood match approach works but doesn't proved an extremely strong condition. There's a product available that looks like small triangular pieces of corrugated metal that are inserted into the hole. The rough edges bind the the surface via the pressure from the screw. Sorry that I don't know the name of the product as I no longer have the packaging.

If there is a chance of water entry, I would use Lab metal. It comes in a can like bondo, but when this stuff hardens it is machinable like metal. Its available at Fastenall.
