I've had better luck using bamboo skewers instead of dowels.

The right way is to remove the screws and doors and insert a wooden dowel
impregnated with epoxy glue.

Screwing into end grain? BTDT didn't like it.

Besides, the screws are not stripped they just loosen up a little. I
suppose they will eventually strip out if I don't fix them properly but
by then SWMBO will want a new kitchen,... or house.
