I had a Fender straplock on one of my basses which I have taken off.

I,m trying to refit the original pins back on the bass, but the hole is larger now and the pin dont fit.

Apart from filling it with superglue, is there a work around??

Personally I wouldn’t use cheap soft wood like toothpicks or matchsticks. Shave off some splinters of decent hardwood, dip them in Evostick wood glue, stick as many in the holes as you can and break them off. After 24 hours you should be all good.

Cocktail sticks and wood glue. Cocktail sticks are harder wood and will give better purchase for the new wood screw.

This is my usual go to. I have no idea why we own so many cocktail sticks.
