Toothpicks will also work.
Thicker screw won't go through the pre-cut holes in the door hinge, though. Those holes are cut to the size of the screw required.

Lot's of holes in this post, I expect it will end up in the quotes thread.
I just fixed the same issue on a closet door using a thicker screw.

Kids!

My body clock won’t really let me sleep past 6 even if on the occasional morning they’re not up yet.
