My preferred method for this is drilling out the holes, brushing the inside with carpenter's glue, and then hammering in wooden dowel pins. Cut them flush, and after the glue sets, you can drill new pilot holes and rehang the door. Make sure the dowel pins are tight. If you can put them in without hammering them home, they aren't tight enough, and you'll need a bigger diameter pin.

Great nethid.

Unfortunately you're talking to someone who wants a 5-minute repair and likely has zero tools and less than zero skills.

Wood glue and toothpicks. If they have 5 minutes to get longer screws at a lumber yard that would help. But who are we kidding.

Well, since he wanted it done in less than 24 hours, he should be finished by now with whatever approach he used.
