Some would say to dig out the old screw, plug, and redrill. My =3D experience in 100-year-old pianos? You are likely to make the damage worse, like =3D breaking the rail. Remember that wood may be a little brittle with age, too. or = =3D" Once you get the olde one out, more often than not, the hole is = over-sized and needs some attention, before putting a new screw in. The = trick is to drill Across the hole with a 1/8" drill. Insert an 1/8" = dowel w/glue. Trim. Re-drill the hole, down through the dowel stock. = Insert new let-off screw...then attach button.
