Block the old screw holes with matchsticks...


I've often used bits of cocktail sticks and kebab sticks for this kind of
thing, both useful because they are pointy, so can be broken off an dlightly
hammered into the holes.

Or we could get really technical and drill a 6mm hole, glue in some 6mm
dowels, trim flush when dry & start again.
