I have an NES game with two stripped screw ports. Any tips or advice on how to repair it? Just to be clear, it’s not the screws themselves it’s the hole that the screw screws into. Also, I’ve heard that epoxy is a much better option to fix a broken bracket rather than superglue. Any opinions on that would be appreciated as well.

I have used silicon tape and super glue to fix stripped plastic post. I just wrap the threads of the screw in the tape. Then fill the holes with glue. Then put the screw in before it dries. This will create fresh threads. Has worked successfully with various consoles I own.
