Stripped Screws in Wood
By Jeff Bridges 

Hi all,  I have a dilemma.  My player piano has a lot of stripped
screws, which is causing the player to loose a lot of suction.  Is
there a way to correct my problem?  I have a few ideas, but I want
other's feedback on this.

Should I (1) put some craft glue in the holes so as to expand the
wood just a little bit, or (2) use some toothpicks to "fix" the
stripped holes?

Any suggestions?

Sincerely, Jeff Bridges
