Or roll up a small piece of aluminum foil - not too many wraps - and drop it in the hole. Then screw the screw into it. Make sure all of the old stripped-out aluminum is cleaned out of the screw threads before screwing it down into the foil-lined hole. The foil should be soft enough for the screw to dig new threads into it.

Another option is to drill and tap the hole out to the next screw size, but I think that would be more of a last resort.
