It's a small tip, but it's saved my butt a ton. A stripped hole in sheet metal such as a door skin for an arm rest screw? Get a small length of coat hanger wire about an 1 1/2" and bend it like a "V". Hang it in the hole, and screw the screw back in. It even worked to fasten my pedestal sink to my bathroom wall into a stripped anchor/molly thingie recently. How did you like the "thingie" word?
I'm sure a variety of materials can be used depending on the situation/damage/hole. Different thickness solder, welding/brazing rod, mechanics/baling wire, electrical wire with it's plastic insulation left on it, etc
