On a serious note, if you have a striped screw hole on a door hinge, put some tooth picks in the hole, snap off the bit that sticks out, and put the screw back in. I’ve fixed so many doors this way.

    Does it matter what direction the stripes run on the screw? :)

    To add to this, a stripped screw into concrete or brick can be fixed with the same method but using a small piece of copper wire the length of the screw.

    Unfortunately I don’t know enough about screws to tell if this is a joke

    I'm making a dumb joke about your spelling haha. Striped is like a zebra, as in having stripes. Stripped is what happens when a screw is stripped.

    You don’t need wood glue? Just the toothpicks?
