1) Use slightly bigger diameter screw

2) You can fabricate a metal like this

3) Instead of screw, you can use rivet as replacement

4) In some cases, can just wood or plastic wedge small enough into hole side to make hole smaller. This still can grip the screw well. I've this also to my kitchen cabinet and so many years still okay. I use rivet for hollow plastic bathroom door to fix a hook.

Looking at the picture, it looks like glass door cabinet that you swing up hold by air pressured piston just like my house. Mine was the screw that hold the piston got lose. I just wedge the screw hole with a wood chip.
