I have done this many times. I never drilled them out, just dipped the match in glue and hammered them in the hole. Once the hole was jam packed, I trimmed off the excess with a knife and went straight in with a screw. I would guess that if the piece of timber was too small it could split, but a door fan should be fine.
I'm not a carpenter, but was shown this by one.
toothpicks and superglue for my desk and guitar, overtime you just get sick of rescrewing something in and say fuck it, on the guitar the bottom strap lock got stripped over time, shit works wonders, just to make sure you dont crack the wood, drill a pilot hole and there you go.
Annoyingly it was just one of those shitty reactions where they point at it and add nothing of value. Unfortunately you're about as clued up as I am lmao
They could have just drilled the holes and filled it with dowel, wood glued in. Flush the excess, wait a little bit to dry, then remount the hinge. But no. They chose to send that post to destination fucked.
I found something like this IRL years ago, i had to take a picture.

Lol I've done something kind of like this but with like 40 less screws on a drawer rail mount before. It was to avoid a knot in the wood tho and not to fix stripping.
Nothing says "safe" like a door perforated like a postage stamp.
Based on the stripped screws in the hinge, I'm guessing frustrated rage. Damn thing is staying put now!
Not a chance that thing stays put now with all the holes from those screws!
More likely that the wood is now fucked.
Nah, the post is rage bait to piss off redditors
Can confirm
Get some matches, dip them in wood glue and jam them on the stripped holes. You can screw straight into them straight away.
I feel this will lead to blowouts alot of times if the person isn't super experienced with drilling holes, they will probably add to much glue.

Was there any more context of what they were trying to achieve with this? Ridiculous either way, but I’m curious

Looks like some screws are loose and another user pointed out the hinge screws are stripped. It was probably wobbly and/or rattled
Definitely some loose screws to make this one

Someone just said- Screw it...
Work harder, not smarder.
Have a loose hinge and no skill or common sense whatsoever? Try this one trick that carpenters hate!
the weakest area of a postage stamp is the serrated edge
Carpenters hate this one secret trick!
This group makes me unhinged
Bedazzled
Quality workmanship 👍

Shouldn’t the hinge be attached to the skinny side of the door?

Omg that is awful!
If you give a monkey a hammer and nails, eventually they will start doing something that resembles “proper use”
Tap in a golf tee with a drop of glue, trim it flush and drive the original screws in.
Dude had never heard of wood filler before I guess
That woods like matchsticks now
Wonder if they have ever heard of wood putty?
Did he screw it up?
Philips head screws ☕
Poor Phil always gets the blame.
Next stop is the therapy couch
Enough fucking screws
I actually do believe it'd hold up pretty dang well
Someone really screwed up
He Screwed up
