Repair stripped screw holes in fiberglass
A couple of the mounting screws for the ingress handle on my NL are stripped. If this were wood, I'd glue a toothpick in there and move on. What is the best approach for stripped fiberglass?

Battling the same problem with my Bigfoot.
I used epoxy to set 2-3 tooth picks into each hole. The holes are in a stud, so I have something to grab into. I did upgrade to longer 1/4 x 2" SS lag bolts. The epoxy I used was 12 hr cure, so I'll finish tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will drill a pilot and reinstall the handle. There is another website/forum where this issue was addressed. I used suggestions from that site with some advisory from here.
