Well, for one, you should make your avatar smaller.

2, most common way is to break off toothpicks in the hole, but I think I heard a better way here a little while back... someone else will chime in here.

Toothpicks are the way to go and you could even add some white or wood glue as you stack the toothpicks in. No need to wait for the glue to dry and the screw will still be removable later.

In the future, don't be a moron - take out one of the screws from the strap buttons, bring it with you to the store, and then find a straplock that fits a screw of that size.

Saves ya some effort in the long run, and that way you're not screwing around with toothpicks :P

The toothpick method takes about 5 seconds to do and is very safe and reliable.
