Default Stripped Screw Hole

The door panel of my 2001 TA has a stripped screw hole..What's the best option?..to put some loctite on the screw and screw it back in..or go up to the next size screw and force it in?

I just recently fixed a similar problem on my Z. I took the door panel off, and i mixed up some JB weld used a nail and put the JB in the stripped hole. Let it harden for a bit then I put the door panel back on, used the original screw and I screwed it in carefully. Worked like a charm for me.

I need to fix mine as well. Hardner works well too and just re drill the hole.
