Whatever fills the gap. Foil probably conforms better than some things

On board my sailboat I carry a two parts epoxy putty stick. When I am in
trouble I fill the screw hole with that epoxy putty.
Then I wait 15 minutes. Make sure it has harden and drill the proper size
of pilot hole.
I have use that epoxy putty (gray) to fill holes in my wooden dinghy and it
works well.

Don't laugh... but rolling up little bits of aluminum foil works really
well too....
