Longer or thicker screws would be easiest.

Jam the hole full of toothpicks, drive screw. Or use a small plastic inset anchor.

Step up to the next screw size is the best option. Drill and tap larger. Helicoil if the material is thick

Google keensert, like a helicoil but gives you more depth if you have a little space behind the hinge. Worth a look

For metal use wire instead of toothpicks.

I’ll give this a try as well as some thicker screws.
