You MIGHT be able to just use larger screws, but that could present a couple of other problems. First, with larger screws, you'll likely have to drill out the holes in the metal brackets that fasten the tuners to the headstock in order for the larger screws to go through the holes in the bracket.

Second, it would mean obtaining larger screws which may not match the original color and look of the original bracket. I still think that the best way to do the job right and have the problem fixed permanently so that it looks just as good as new is do the epoxy/dowel job. It's not much more effort than doing it half-way and it will look 100% better, IMHO.
