This was a problem around 2005 where wood inserts were not used inside the alum tubes.
Fixes i have seen was to insert a a round dowel into the tube by cutting the tube to insert the dowel so the screw can bite.
sometimes, filling the screw hole using a toothpick soaked in wood glue or using a golf tee, hammered into the screw hole might give you enough bite to hold things together.
You could also, rebuild the whole dinette using a wood frame and tie it into the alum with angle iron.
