Bill,

I have used pieces cut from toothpicks, along with Elmer's  Glue, to 
restore 
wallowed out holes in wood.  The toothpicks are  hardwood, so they will 
grip 
a screw, and the glue will hold them in place,  while being pliable enough 
to 
avoid cracking.

If the holes are  still precise enough to allow you to tighten the screws 
securely, then  some sort of epoxy might be called for. The screws would 
clamp it in place  until everything sets up hard.





These screws are about 1/4 inch long.  I've used the toothpick  elmers 
technique with great success in the past.   I can rotate the  tripod socket to 
avoid using the same holes, however I was thinking it might be  nice to 
really firmly attach the fitting with a little sticky help.  Bill  Barber
