Depends on the nature of the damage to the screw slot. If part of it has broken away then you may have to try and fit another screw in a different place. If not broken but hole just enlarged you have two options: Use slightly fatter screw or drop tiny piece of wood into hole like small bit of cocktail stick - original screw may then bite and hold.
