how do I repair a stripped out screw hole in the wall

Well, the subject says it all. My Winnie has those thin wood walls and some of the screws holding misc. plates and brackets are stripping out. How do I repair the holes so I can tighten the wood screw...

For larger holes I have used several tooth picks, as many as six. However, using a dowel is basically the same thing. I would drill a small pilot hole in the dowel prior to replacing the screw.
