I've used that fix for many years on buttplate and other type wood screws.
A good tip is to place the wood shim (toothpick) toward one side or the other of the hole, depending on which way you might want the plate to move.
I've seen my previous "temporary" repairs still holding MANY years after doing it the first time. (Longtime/repeat customers)

FWIW,
