Neck set screw got loose - neck hole thread broken
I can't tighten one of neck set screws - seems like the thread on the neck is messed up. What are the ways to fix the problem?

The only problem with a dowel is that you are going to be drilling into endgrain when you install the dowel. On a 4 bolt neck, this is generally not a problem as long as you don't over-tighten it. The dowel method is generally more secure than toothpicks for a repair like that, though.
