Tuners lost a screw

Hey guys,

The jazz I got a few years ago was majorly beat up and the tuners were knackered so I replaced them. The new holes didn't quite line up with the old ones so I filled them all and drilled new ones. The screws that came with the tuners didn't really seem to be a great fit but I was keen to get it up and running so just went for it anyway! I've gigged the bass for over a year now and now the screws holding in the tuners are starting to come loose and I've lost one altogether, oops!

So my question is what's the best way to fix this properly, would I need to re fill the holes with filler or am I best trying to glue in some tiny dowel and re drill it?

Thanks guys!

Drill hole with smaller diameter than the screw too, in case you hadn't already
