luckily that's the cabinet on the end. You can drill all the way through to the other side without affecting the finished look of the visible side.

I wouldn't use plastic inserts. Instead, pick up some FlipToggle drywall anchors.

You'll have to drill out the existing hole much bigger than it was, but after inserting the anchor, the included bolt will hold sturdier than the original.
