| fixing the holes properly, with toothpicks slathered in aliphatic wood glue ("titebond"), and the screws cranked in while still wet, will result in holes that are every bit as strong as the unstripped holes.
(the holes in the neck, of course; the screws must still slip cleanly through the holes in the body. be sure the toothpicks and glue are only in the neck wood.)
