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...

Took me awhile to find my post again because I was searching the wrong rv forum. . .arghhh!
A piece of three quarter inch diameter dowel rod glued into the hole with gorilla glue did the trick. Drilled a pilot hole and screwed the spool back in - it's holding the tension from the shade cord nicely!
