Grab Handle screw hole stripped

[TNRacedoc]

The passenger side grab handle in front of the door (on the pillar) stripped out when my mom used it to get in a couple weeks ago. Curious of a DIY fix for this or will this be something to take to the dealer/body shop?

Try wrapping the threads with teflon plumbers tape and reinstall. Or use JB Weld in the hole and install the screw, but you may never get it back out again.
