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.


What I have done in cases like this is to fill the hole with polyurethane
glue (Gorilla glue) and then drive the screw in. The poly glue will lock
the screw in tight in most cases.
