Default gluing Dowels in plywood, what glue/what method

guys, I have a Worlds Models P-40 Warhawk,, the plane is rather nice and well made, the engine Cowl is beautiful, but one of the screw holes for the retracts is stripped, I glued better plywood under the Chinese wood and use a blind nut, but the blind nut just turned, so now I just want to drill the hole a bit larger and glue in a dowel,, note that I have a Lathe so I can turn my own dowel to fit as I please,

so my questions are,,
1) do you use Epoxy or CA ?
2) how tight of a fit should I have between the Dowel and Plywood ?

thanks Guys !!

Jim
