When I reseated my mast step, I drilled the holes a little larger, used a nail to try and clean out any soft wood, then "dammed" the bottom of the holes with duct tape, then used a syringe to dispense penetrating epoxy into the holes. When the epoxy cured, I redrilled to correct original bolt diameter and seated the mast step with 3M 4000 UV. This has worked well for me but YMMV.
