What happens here
Take the golf tee, now coated with wood filler, and carefully insert its tapered end into the stripped screw hole on the door hinge. Once in place, use a hammer to gently tap the golf tee further into the hole. This action presses the filler into all parts of the stripped hole, creating a solid plug. Ensure the tee is flush or slightly recessed.
Goal: Fill the stripped screw hole
