Machine screws? replace them.
Wood/self taping screws? dip a piece of wood dowel in wood glue, cut flush with the top of the hole, make a pilot hole on the dowel, then install the screw.

I cut the pointed tip off a round wood tooth pick then install and make a cross point with a 1.4mm straight blade jewelers screwdriver then install the screw while the glue is still wet.
