That's the best way to do it and a more permanent fix. We use to have so many stripped holes when we took the doors off for painting. I always had a box of toothpicks and some wood glue which a quick fix for us as we had limited time. I swear thee guys never set the drill speed and use the clutch they just let it go full bore.Here’s a tip to take the “toothpicks in the door hinge hole” trick to a new level….
Drill 3/8” holes into the door jamb where the stripped screw holes are.
Squirt some wood glue in there - spread it around with an awl or screwdriver.
Spread some wood glue on the end of 3/8” wood dowel.
Insert the dowel as far as it will go.
Cut dowel off flush to the jamb with an oscillating tool or other fine saw.
Repeat for the remaining holes.
Let the glue dry for several hours.
Drill 1/8” pilot holes in the centre of the dowel ends.
Mount the door, using door hinge screws.
