Chipboard holes won't take a screw

alligin

Use pieces of wet toilet paper and mix with a lot of PVA/wood glue to act as a filler. Sand it flat when dry and then screw directly into it. Use masking tape to keep it in place if you need to.

Another option is well kneeded Milliput epoxy putty squeezed in hard and levelled with a knife. When dry drill a pilot hole just smaller than the shank of the screw.

or these may be better , you can  use them even though it shows the larger  round holes for the recessed bit

Just use screwfix item number 181GX , and fill in around it with 2 part filler, no need to drill pilot holes that might go off center.
ive used loads of the repair plates on kitchens,  but don’t buy them off flea bay as the hole centers won’t match up

I’m not sure whether this would help but I’ve used a product called Wetnfix to get rawlplugs to hold where they’ve pulled out of plaster walls.

Can this be trimmed into thin strips as required? If so, sounds promising. 

Yes, it can. Pretty good stuff for plugs in old plaster walls.

Update.
I tried wedging matches and wood glue into the holes, left it 24 hours to dry,  but it all crumbled when I tried to screw in the mounting plates.
In the end I used a hinge repair kit from screwfix, 6418J. It took quite a bit of hinge adjustment (be ause now the mounting plate was 1mm further over than it was before) to get it right but now everything is aligned and parallel and looks a lot better than I did before I started. 
Thanks to all suggestions

Ya using matchsticks and filler won’t work with chipboard, that’s why I always carry about 6 repair plates in my van
