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?

If you are only dealing with fiberglass (no wood backer to grab) another option would be to install a small rivetnut through the hole. This would grab on both sides then you can use a machine screw into the rivet Nut (sized to match) to secure. This approach does require a rivet tool for the rivet Nut installation. For example: https://www.amazon.com/eBoot-Plated-Carbon-Insert-Nutsert/dp/B01NAHXLJM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502663312&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=Rivet+Nut&psc=1
If you have access to the backside of the panel you can use a weld Nut instead of the rivet Nut eliminating the need for the rivet tool. https://www.mcmaster.com/#90860A100
