I considered this method and I'm sure it would work, I've used cocktail sticks and wood glue to solve stripped threads on doors hinges around the house which works fine, Gorilla glue works well too as it expands with moisture into a kind of foam so has excellent gap filling qualities.

But nothing beats a slightly longer screw as it's the only way of ensuring you're actually screwing into new fresh wood, a small amount of wood specific two part epoxy on the threads ensures a really permanent fix. I sorted the main problematic triangular plate like this last week and its perfect, so will address the other three in the same way this weekend, the security Torx heads look neat and also stop an opportunist theif removing the side screens with his Swiss army knife or Phillips screw driver thumbs
