The plastic bits that are used to close sliced pans are better.

whats a strap lock for?

you know the little nut thing on electric guitars that you hang your strap on to? well the one on my electric guitar thats kinda above the neck (and not at the end/bottom of the guitar) has come off. the screw wont stay in. is there some sort of cheap wood filler i could use to fill the hole and screw the screw back into or would it require more expert fixing?

Get a bigger/longer screw and you'll be grand. The strap lock is to keep the strap on that yoke.

Just a bigger and longer screw like I said. I've done it a few times over the years and never had a problem again.

or use the same screw but jam a piece or two of spliced up matchstick (you'll know how big to make it yourself) into the hole first, and possible half a drop of wood glue.
