It never does unless it's an older bass coming in for set-up, TLC or repairs. It is not that common. If it does, we either put a small 1/8" dowel piece in with a small bit of white glue and them put the screw back in or if the hole is worse, we glue a dowel in, let it dry and re-drill but the dowel is usually softer then the body wood. When trying to fix your bass yourself, be careful not to make things worse. If you are not really sure of what you are doing, then don't do it.
