Default Screw stripped

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.


If the wood is sufficiently sound, try drilling a hole and fitting .
plastic wall plug
