Carpenters glue and appropriate sized dowel rods. Put them into the hole and then put the screws in them.

That's one of the reason we got rid of our '98 Santara. Had at least one screw strip out each time we used the rig. Paid extra in our DSDP's to get the real hardwood cabinets so this wouldn't happen. So far, with two different DSDP's not one screw has stripped out, in fact none have even come loose.
Oh yes, matchsticks and glue for the Santara.

This is the best fix that I have found, and with my 06 Prowler I have had several. It's almost like some of the wood is as light as balsa wood.

If you can get to the back of the area where a drilled hole thru the hole that is there now, use a tee-nut with a matching machine screw for the hinge. If you can't get behind the area, get wood inserts( metal cylinders with threads on the inside and reverse threads on the outside). Drill hole the size specified for cylinder and turn in, then use machine screw that matches the hinge. There are two types that I have seen, one for wood use and another for particle board. I just recently I have used the tee-nut set up for a cabinet door with three hinges.

Kinda depends on where the holes are. If they're in solid wood, like a two by two, toothpicks and glue might hold for a while. If the holes are in your 1/8 inch thick wall panels, you need to consider some sort of hollow wall anchor (like mollybolts, etc.)

Purchase a wood dowel rod or wood pegs of the same diameter that you drill the holes to. Cut them to length so that they would be flush to the surface when forced into the holes. Put a little wood glue on them and hammer them into the holes. Allow the glue to dry, mark and drill a pilot hole for the original screws and remount the door.
I used this method to remount the striker plate to the door jamb for my front door lock. It is as good as new.

Recently the screws on my house storm door ripped out of the door frame. I went to Home Depot and picked up Elmer's Wood Filler in a white bottle. It worked AWESOME and dried quickly. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks for all the great ideas, I have limited space to work with. The door is under the bench where the table is. There isn't a whole lot of customizing I can do with the space wood area available.
I might try the filler first.
Thanks again for all your responses.

Mix some sawdust with some Elmer's glue and pack it into the hole. Allow to dry several hours before screwing the cabinet door back in place.

Golf tees covered in wood glue. Tap them in with a hammer, let dry, break or cut off what sticks out. Done.
