Hey guys,
I just swapped out the pickguard on my NYC P/J 5. The 2 bottom screws holes are now stripped. I was extremely careful. I had a seperate thread on changing the guard & had a couple of good replies. But one guy stated that these holes are over the chamber. The toothpick idea sounded good until I heard this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

While Roger may chime in on this, and if he does, his idea should be considered authoritative, here's what I've done in the past that's worked really well...

Get a dowel rod, around 1/16"-1/8". Very carefully drill out the hole... maybe even using a drill bit by hand with a t-handle... until that dowel fits perfectly in the hole. Then lightly glue the hole and the dowel, and push it in until the top of the dowel is perfectly flat with the top of the instrument... maybe even just slightly recessed (very slightly... like paper). Let it set up for hours. When it's all dried and ready to go, gently center punch the middle of the dowel just so when you redrill it the bit doesn't "walk" on you, redrill it, and you have a fresh hole for a screw.

Note:
If 1/8" is big enough that you'd actually end up drilling out some finish, then go smaller... even if it means you take 1/8" dowel and sand it down by hand to fit. This detail may or may not really be worth it to most folks, but this is the level of care I'd use, at least. Maybe over the top, but it makes me more comfortable about the "repair".
