From Squeaky Stair Repair, Step 4: Shim Gaps
Take one of the prepared wood shims and insert it into the glue-filled screw hole. Use a hammer to gently tap the shim into the hole until it is fully seated and excess wood breaks off flush with the surface of the hinge. The adhesive will help bond the shim to the surrounding wood, effectively reducing the hole's diameter and providing new material for the screw threads.
