Had this problem myself two ways to fix.
1. Buy some epoxy or JB weld and repair/build up the hole. Allow it to dry then file it close to the old shape. Redrill the hole and reassemble.
2. Move the hole further in on the hinge area. As I recall there is a thick ridge that if you move past it is actually pretty strong. It will work just like it was originally designed.
Method two is easier (obviously) but both work and cannot be seen.
Hope this helps.
