Default Fixing screw holes in fabric

Its annual time for the Starduster, and I was wondering about the
screws that hold on the inspection covers. Around each inspection hole,
there is a thickened area in the fabric cover that the screws go into. The
holes have become stripped out over time, and screws won't stay in.

Is there some kind of epoxy or something that could be used to fill in
the holes to be redrilled? None of the current members of the
partnership know much about fabric, so I thought I'd ask here.
