Default Screw stripped

Why not try using an insert like one of these:

Can someone advise me? I've just put together an Adirondack Chair made,
unfortunately, of cheap Indonesian wood. Although it looks OK and went
together easily enough, one of the screws that attach the back to the
arm stripped the hole in the chair back.

Is there something I can use to fill the hole and start again? A think
longer screw may cause trouble, since the chair back is curved. I was
also considering Plastic Wood...but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Paul
