- filling the hole with a small piece of heavy-duty paper towel and reinserting the original screw (a surprisingly quick, effective, invisible, and permanent fix if done right - I've remounted strap buttons this way with no issues)
- using a slightly larger screw (you don't want to split the wood in the process, especially if it's the side mounting you're talking about)

So, after christmas, I finally found some time to follow your advice. i filled the hole with wood putty. Worked really well.
Thanks for the advice!
