grand hinge to rim screws stripped

[Farrell]

Cut flat sawn hard maple plugs. Drill rim, glue (or epoxy) in plugs. Drill plugs. Lube steel screws with beeswax. Run screws in. Better than new.

  Hi, 

  Besides drilling and plugging the rim, does anyone have a better way of repairing the hinge screws on a grand piano?  This piano is moved several times a year and the rim is less than 3/4 inch thick.
