Dowels

Wooden dowels are available in 1/16 increments, glue and drive into the existing hole the proper size dowel and cut or break off flush. This works well with out the need to drill a new hole. Your best bet is to jack up your existing deck timber and glue and screw a sister to your failing timber. You may need to use a larger size timber to handle your current load. If the kids insist on ripping off door knobs you could consider leaving them home.
