Tuning peg screw hole issues.

[BassPenguin22]

A couple of days ago in the early morning I nocked my crappy Epiphone acoustic off its stand. On its way down one of the tuning heads nocked against my desk.
On closer inspection it turns out that the tuner was nocked with such force the whole tuner moved over a mm or so. this didn't really cause any issues as the hole for the tuners shaft is rather oversized. Anyway the tuner pivoted on the lower screw and the top screw bent over slightly. The screws hole was widened and the tuner is now loose.
Basically I somehow need to plug the hole and re-drill it.
Problem is im a woodworking noob and im not 100% how to plug the hole. The hole is not straight doweling it wouldn't really solve it. Wood filler would fill the hole but Im not sure if it would be strong Enough.

Please Please help a noob lol.

toothpick+titebond. same way we fix strap button issues as well...

Yep. Break off a toothpick in the hole with a little wood glue.

NOT GORILLA GLUE, NOT EPOXY.

The problem one side of the whole is sorta bent, so the whole isnt exactly cylindrical

You could also try tightening the nut that holds the tuner to the headstock. And replace the bent screw and fill the little hole if needed.

K fixed.
Fished out a new screw from the shed, the end of a match and a little wood glue. Seems perfect. Will let it dry and will see the results later on. Thanks alot to you all

Well there is no nut. Just sort've a metal cap for the hole and a tuner. Guess thats what one gets when they get a ghetto epiphone.
