Maybe this is a dumb question, but how does a toothpick help you with that?
Way too often in older homes (and honestly some newer materials like cheap doors) are prone to having the screws tear out enough material that they aren't able to grab properly when you attempt to reinstall them. So a few toothpicks and elmer's glue (or wood glue if you're feeling fancy) placed into the hole before screwing things back together really helps keeps things together.
Ahhhh for some reason I read it as it would help the screwdriver grip a stripped screw. You’re talking about the other side of things. That makes total sense, thank you! Never thought to try that.
